Mohammad Rizwan, the captain of Multan Sultans, has once again grabbed attention, this time for his decision to address his team in Urdu during a pre-season practice session ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024. The speech, delivered with passion and conviction, was intended to fire up the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. However, the choice of language left some of his overseas teammates puzzled. England all-rounder David Willey, asked if he understood the speech, humorously responded, "Treat the conditions," which sparked laughter among the players.
Rizwan recently faced trolling for his English-speaking skills during pre- and post-match interviews at the Champions Trophy. Even former Australian spinner Brad Hogg joined in on the fun. However, his decision to speak in Urdu this time was seen as a refreshing change.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 will start on April 11. Defending champions Islamabad United will face two-time winners Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in the opening match. The six-team tournament will feature 34 matches from April 11 to May 18.
