> Rizwan made 200 not out off 252 balls with 35 fours as Peshawar Blues declared on 503 for 4 against Faisalabad in Abbottabad. Babar Azam fell for 28 in Islamabad.

**Mohammad Rizwan is back, and in style.** The former Pakistan captain finished **200 not out off 252 balls** on day two of Peshawar Blues' Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Gold match against Faisalabad at the **Abbottabad Cricket Stadium** on Wednesday, 4 November, [Dawn reported](https://www.dawn.com/news/2042111/rizwan-stages-resounding-comeback-in-domestic-cricket-af). It is the second double century of his first-class career.

## The innings

- **200 not out**, 252 balls, **35 fours and one six**.
- Peshawar resumed on 306 for 3 and **declared on 503 for 4 in 115.2 overs**.
- **Najab Khan made 133** and **Mohammad Haris** added a quick **70 not out off 69 balls**.

Faisalabad reached **118 for 2 in 35.2 overs** at stumps. Mohammad Adnan trapped both openers lbw, Faham-ul-Haq for 31 and Sameer Saqib for 25, and Asim Ali Nasir (35 not out) and Atiq-ur-Rehman (24 not out) resume on Thursday, still 385 behind.

## Why it matters

This was Rizwan's first big innings since the England Test tour, where he made **61 runs in four innings** and was one of seven players sent home after the second Test at Lord's. The PCB recently cleared him to return to domestic cricket, Dawn said; an inquiry by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency linked to the tour is still open. A double hundred in the country's top first-class competition is the strongest case he can make to the selectors before Pakistan's next red-ball assignment.
