Pakistan’s star cricketer and Multan Sultans captain, Mohammad Rizwan, has addressed a topic that has often been the subject of public discussion—his struggle with the English language. Speaking candidly during a press conference, Rizwan shared his views on education, language, and self-respect.
The wicketkeeper-batter admitted that he could not complete his formal education due to his early commitment to cricket. However, he made it clear that he carries no shame regarding his limited English-speaking ability.
“I don’t care about my lack of English. I’m proud that I speak from the heart. Praise be to God, I don’t know English—and I’m not ashamed of it at all,” said Rizwan.
He went on to say that his main responsibility is to deliver in cricket, not in language fluency.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t study much. But what’s important is that I deliver in cricket. They expect cricket from me, not English. Yes, I didn’t finish my education, and that’s why I struggle with English, but I’m not embarrassed by it.”
Rizwan’s Statement Wins Praise for Honesty and Confidence
Mohammad Rizwan’s honest remarks have earned widespread appreciation from fans, players, and commentators. Many believe his words reflect humility, confidence, and a deep understanding of personal priorities.
His statement also highlights a broader issue in society—where language fluency is sometimes unfairly linked with intelligence or capability. Rizwan’s message serves as a powerful reminder that true success comes from skill, character, and dedication.
Cricket First: Rizwan’s Clear Focus
Despite facing criticism over his language skills in the past, Rizwan continues to impress with his consistent performances on the field. His clarity about focusing on cricket rather than language standards has resonated with many, especially young athletes who look up to him as a role model.
