Mohammad Rizwan has won the PCB\u2019s Most Valuable Cricketer of the Year award following a stellar 2021 in which he scored 455 Test, 134 ODI and 1,326 T20I runs, besides accounting for 56 batsmen behind the wickets across all formats.<\/p>\n
For the Most Valuable Cricketer of the Year award, Rizwan beat the challenge of Babar Azam, Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi, who also had an impressive and outstanding year, which is reflected through Pakistan\u2019s overall performance in 2021.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Most Valuable Cricketer of the Year award, Rizwan was also unanimously selected by an independent panel* as the T20I Cricketer of the Year.<\/p>\n
Mohammad Rizwan: \u201cI feel humbled and honoured to have been adjudged Pakistan\u2019s Most Valuable Cricketer of 2021. This is the PCB\u2019s most prestigious award and to be recognised for my contributions in the team\u2019s superlative performances across all formats in 2021 in such a way gives me tremendous satisfaction and happiness.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I had an exceptional year in the shortest format of the game when I was able to hit a century early in the year against South Africa and then carry that confidence and momentum for the rest of the year. I give a lot of credit to our bowlers who bowled their hearts out and didn\u2019t let the pressure get onto the batters by maintaining sustained pressure on the opponents throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
