Rizwan explained

Mohammad Rizwan's wicketkeeping and his batting are not separate items on Pakistan's team sheet; one name covers both. Wisden named him Cricketer of the Year in 2021, an honour that carried his reputation past the audiences who watch Pakistan's cricket week to week. He keeps wicket and he bats, and the selectors treat those as one entry, not two.

The ODI ledger is the plainest measure of his standing: 103 matches, 2,979 runs, an average of 40.80. Those figures come with the gloves, the role that put him in a Pakistan shirt in the first place. Outside the international calendar he appears for Comilla Victorians. In effect, one cricketer fills two slots in the XI, which is the whole point of him.
