A bold tactical move in BBL 2026 left Mohammad Rizwan frustrated and ignited a major debate across the cricketing world
During the BBL 2026 match vs Sydney Thunder, Mohammad Rizwan was retired out in the 18th over by Melbourne Renegades’ management
Rizwan scored 26 off 23 balls (SR ~113), prompting the team to replace him with a more aggressive batter for the final overs
Rizwan looked unhappy after being retired out, with reports suggesting his frustration was directed at the team’s tactical decision
His replacement, stand-in captain Will Sutherland, managed just 1 run off 1 ball before being run out
Rizwan isn’t alone. His longtime partner Babar Azam is also struggling to keep up with the fast-paced demands of the BBL, raising questions about adaptability in modern T20 cricket
