Rizwan creates Namaz groups, restricts non-Muslims: Imam-ul-Haq on Pak captain's religious practices
Islamabad: Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq has shared details about captain Mohammad Rizwan’s religious practices within the national cricket team. Speaking on the Ultra Edge podcast ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025, Imam revealed that Rizwan arranges hotel rooms for prayers, gathers teammates for Namaz, lays out white sheets for prayer, and creates WhatsApp groups for prayer schedules. He also mentioned that non-Muslims are restricted from entering these prayer spaces.
The video of Imam’s remarks has surfaced on social media at a time when the Pakistan cricket team is facing heavy criticism following their early exit from the Champions Trophy. Pakistan crashed out in the group stage after defeats to India and New Zealand.
With the team struggling, speculation continues over Rizwan’s leadership and the Pakistan Cricket Board’s plans for the future. Reports suggest that PCB is considering changes in coaching staff to address the team’s performance issues.
