Rizwan likely to miss Global T20 League Canada

Pakistan's wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan is likely to miss the upcoming Global T20 League Canada. 

Rizwan has been picked up by Vancouver Knights for the third edition of the league which is scheduled from July 20 to August 6.

According to the sources, Pakistan will play two Tests against Sri Lanka from July 16 to 28. Being a first-choice wicketkeeper batter, Rizwan will travel with the Pakistan team for the Test series. 

He might be available to his team for the last few matches in the league.

It must be noted here that Rizwan alongside Babar Azam is not attending the ongoing training camp ahead of the Test series. Both of them are going for Hajj with their families. 

Players including Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Iftikhar Ahmed, Abdullah Shafique, Azam Khan, and Zaman Khan will be in action in the league. 

Afridi has been picked up by Toronto Nationals as their marquee player. The flamboyant all-rounder last featured in Legends League Cricket (LLC) in Qatar where he led his team Asian Lions to title victory.

Malik will play as an icon player for Mississauga Panthers.
