Mohammad Rizwan is a highly rated wicket-keeper batsman from Peshawar who idolizes Adam Gilchrist. He made his First Class debut for Peshawar in 2008 and impressed the selectors after a series of note-worthy performances with the bat and gloves. From Peshawar College team at the age of 17 to Pakistan national team at the age of 22 - it was an incredible hard-working journey for Rizwan.
In the earlier stages of his Under-19 career, he found it hard to cope up with the pressure of playing white-ball cricket. He, however, managed to overcome tough times with the help of his domestic coaches and mentors. After an 87-ball 103 from Rizwan steered Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Fighters to clinch the
Pentangular One Day Cup with a six-wicket win in the final against Baluchistan Warriors, he pushed his case further for claiming a spot in the national side. Moreover, Peshawar Panthers became national T20 champions in 2014 and 2015 with Rizwan playing a pivotal role.
