Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop has praised Mohammad Rizwan after the latter scored his maiden century in Test cricket.

Wicketkeeper batsman Rizwan scored his maiden hundred to help Pakistan set South Africa a target of 370 runs on the fourth day of the second Test in Rawalpindi on Sunday.

 

Mohammad Rizwan is a nice little player. Very busy at the crease. Congrats to him on his first test century. Pakistan have quite a few nice pillars to build on going forward.

The 28-year-old took a sharp single off spinner George Linde to complete his first century in his 13th Test.

Rizwan made his Test debut against New Zealand in 2016 but gradually cemented his place in 2019 when Sarfaraz Ahmed was dropped from all three formats.

His previous highest Test score was the 95 he made against Australia at Adelaide in 2019.

Pakistan leads the two-match series 1-0.
