Rizwan Embarrassed: Retired Out in BBL Shock
12 Jan
Summary
- Mohammad Rizwan was retired out by Melbourne Renegades.
- He struggled for quick runs, scoring 26 off 23 balls.
- Rizwan is the first overseas player retired out in BBL history.

In a remarkable turn of events during a Big Bash League match, Melbourne Renegades player Mohammad Rizwan was retired out by his own team. This unusual tactic occurred as Rizwan found it difficult to score quickly in the closing stages of the innings, having accumulated 26 runs from 23 balls.
Rizwan's inability to find the boundary or build momentum, even during the crucial power surge, led to the decision. He faced a significant portion of deliveries but could not provide the necessary acceleration for his team. This marks a unique moment in the league's history.
Consequently, Mohammad Rizwan became the first overseas player in the Big Bash League to be retired out. The incident happened during the match between the Melbourne Renegades and the Sydney Thunder, highlighting an unconventional strategic move in T20 cricket.
