Pakistani batsman Mohammad Rizwan met with an embarrassing moment in Australia's Big Bash League (BBL) recently.

Playing for the Melbourne Renegades, the player was forced off the field, retired out, apparently for batting too slow against Sydney Thunder.

Rizwan was batting on 26 off 23 when Will Sutherland, captain of the team, appeared on the boundary rope, signalling the Pakistani batsman to step off the field. Check it out:

The Renegades were 154-4 in 18 overs at the time, and ended up setting a target of 171 for the Thunders at the end of 20 overs. The match has, as of this writing, been stopped due to rain interruption.
