Pakistan Pacer: In an unexpected turn of events, Pakistani fast bowler Wahab Riaz will compete in the eighth Pakistan Super League while also assuming a new position as Punjab’s temporary sports minister, which falls within the purview of the province’s caretaker administration.
In international cricket, Wahab Riaz is well-known due to his accomplishments for Pakistan throughout the years. For many years, he was an important member of Pakistan’s team and participated in a number of World Cup campaigns. The batters have a lot of difficulty because of his ability to bowl quickly. But based on the fact that Wahab hasn’t competed for the national team since November 2020, it appears that he has recently lost favour.
Baligh Ur Rehman, the governor of Punjab, recently administered the oath of office to the newly elected state cabinet at the Governor House in Lahore. Due to his duties related to the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League, the left-arm pacer was not present.
Eight of the eleven members, including Bilal Afzal, SM Tanveer, Dr Javed Akram, Ibrahim Murad, Dr Jamal Nasir, Mansoor Qadir, Syed Azfar Ali Nasir, and Amir Mir, had to take the oath in person because Wahab Riaz, Tamkinat Karim, and Naseem Sadiq did not attend the ceremony.
“I have made the decision to take a break from first-class cricket after considering my recent red-ball and prospective limited-overs performances. I want to concentrate on 50-over and 20-over cricket during this time while maintaining my fitness for the lengthier format of the game.” In an interview with NDTV, Wahab stated, “I would make myself available at a point I feel I cannot just return but also perform with the red ball.”
In the shorter game formats, Wahab was one of Pakistan’s most reliable performers. The 37-year-old has 237 wickets to his name in 156 international matches for Pakistan, and he hasn’t ruled out playing again for his country just yet. Wahab, who has 12 wickets in six games at an economy of 6.53, has been the finest bowler in the CURRENT BPL.
