Pakistan wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan found himself at the centre of controversy after being forced to ‘retire out’ during a BBL match between Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder. Rizwan, criticised for his strike rate in T20 cricket, managed 26 off 23 balls before skipper Will Sutherland asked him to leave the crease. The move sparked debate back home, with many calling it humiliating. Former Pakistan keeper Kamran Akmal said such decisions reflect the fast-paced nature of modern leagues, while stressing that Rizwan must evolve his game. Akmal added that while the decision was harsh, adaptation is no longer optional in T20 cricket.
