Club Profesional Rizwan Akbar gets the 3 wickets required to make it 50 for the season.

50 wickets in a season is something very few will ever achieve, Rizwan can be very proud of himself
- Robbie Wright, Club Captain

Pakistani profesional Rizwan Akbar was clear from the outset when he arrived at Glenrothes Cricket Club in April; "I want to take 50 wickets and help get the club promoted to the CSL Premier League".

50 wickets is nothing new for Rizwan, he did the same for Freuchie CC in 2014 which was one the reasons he was on the Glens radar for 2015; our batsman having faced his sting as opponents previously quite fancied having him on our side for this season.

Club Captain Robbie Wright added; "Rizwan has given our attack real impetus and a genuine pace threat this season. The other bowlers have supported him well and the fielding has had to be decent to help him wrack up such a high wicket tally".

"It was nice to see Rizwan finish on 50 exactly on the same day that opening batsman Chris Greaves broke through the 1000 run barrier for the season; these two special cricketers can be very proud of their achievements. Hopefully they have more left in the tank and can spearhead us to the Premier League in the Play-Off next Saturday".
