'Did not get enough education...': Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan breaks silence on getting trolled for poor English

Pakistan ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan made an honest revelation about his English speaking skills after getting trolled numerous times. Rizwan has frequently been trolled on social media for viral clips showing his English during team meetings and net sessions. Since taking over as Pakistan's captain, the scrutiny has only intensified. However, he has made it clear that such criticism doesn't bother him.

"I don’t care," Rizwan told media, speaking in Urdu. "I am proud of one thing and that is whatever I say, I say from my heart. I don’t know English. My only regret is that I did not get enough education, but I am not even one per cent ashamed that I can’t speak English despite being the captain of the Pakistan cricket team," he added.

“The demand from me is cricket, not English. There is a regret that I did not complete my education, which is why I struggle in speaking English. I tell my juniors to complete their education so that they are able to speak good English," Rizwan said.

“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," the Pakistani wicketkeeper batter concluded.
