South African bowler Tabraiz Shamsi on Wednesday asked Pakistani wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan to give "someone else a chance" to score runs.

Taking to Twitter after Pakistan's win against Zimbabwe in the first T20I, Shamsi said that Mohammad Rizwan is "still scoring runs for fun".

"Give someone else a chance also brother. Other people have to make a living too," added Shamsi.

The South African was responding to Pakistan Cricket Board's tweet that included a picture of Rizwan with his player of the match award.
