English woman cricketer Sarah Taylor cannot wait for Mohammad Rizwan to join the Sussex camp so she can pick his brains on the sport.
Taylor, who currently plays for England and Sussex county, was thrilled to hear that Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan had signed with Sussex.
Rizwan will enjoy his maiden stint in county cricket next year after Sussex confirmed that the Pakistani cricketer will join the team in April and will be available for both the county championship and the T20 Blast.
Sarah Taylor tweeted: “Cannot wait to learn from @iMRizwanPak! Awesome signing,” she tweeted with an emoji.
