Gave a befitting reply with the bat after being dropped
Many questions were being raised regarding the place of Mohammad Rizwan in Pakistan's Test team. He last represented Pakistan in the Test series against England in August. After this, he was not given a place in the team for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka.
His performance on the England tour was disappointing, where he could score only 61 runs in 4 innings. Rizwan was also among those who were sent back from the tour after Pakistan's defeat in the Lord's Test. In such a situation, by scoring this double century in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, he has made the selectors realize his rhythm.
