Rizwan scores unbeaten 200 in first-class match after Test omission
Rizwan posts unbeaten 200 days after being dropped from Pakistan's Test squad.
Mohammad Rizwan scored an unbeaten 200 for Peshawar Region Blues. He faced 252 balls and hit 35 fours and one six. Rizwan added 246 runs with Najab Khan for the fourth wicket and an unbroken 130 with Muhammad Haris for the fifth as Peshawar declared at 503 for 4.
This was Rizwan's first first-class double century in 12 years. He scored 224 in his previous effort in 2014. He has 16 first-class centuries and has played 47 Tests for Pakistan since 2016.
Rizwan was dropped from Pakistan's squad for the Sri Lanka Test series. His last Test was in August against England. He was sent home after Pakistan's second Test loss and scored 61 runs in four innings during the series. He is under investigation by Pakistan's National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency.

Rizwan's response shows how quickly domestic form can challenge selection decisions made on recent international output.
