Pakistan International and MUL skipper Rizwan simply said to his trollers in Urdu, "I don’t care. I am proud of one thing, and that is whatever I say, I say from my heart. I don’t know English." He further added, "At the moment, Pakistan is demanding cricket from me. Pakistan is not demanding English from me. When it does, I will leave cricket and become a professor—but I don't have that much time." 

Rizwan said about importance of education 

The 32-year-old wicketkeeper-batter even explained why he was lacking in his English speaking— for lack of study. The star cricketer from Pakistan said, "I don’t know English. My only regret is that I did not get enough education, but I am not even one percent ashamed that I can’t speak English despite being the captain of the Pakistan cricket team." 

Rizwan advised junior cricketers to complete studies to speak English properly: "I tell my juniors to complete their education so that they are able to speak good English."

The tenth edition of the Pakistan Super League has already started with an encounter between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United. United got a comfortable victory over Qalandars last night at the Rawalpindi cricket stadium. West Indian all-rounder with four wickets was the best performer of the game. Today, Multan Sultans is set to start their campaign and will definitely want to leave the field with all points by defeating Karachi Kings.
