Wahab Riaz responds to PCB selection committee expulsion.

As the selection committee had seven members, he asked how one vote could overwhelm six. He said everything was recorded in the meeting minutes. Riaz was fired as men’s senior team manager shortly after being replaced as selector. Wahab and Manager Mansoor Rana were fired by the PCB for lack of discipline throughout the national men’s team’s last three tours.

After the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) fired him from the selection board, former star cricketer Wahab Riaz said he contributed “100% for the betterment of Pakistan cricket”. After the team’s poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, the PCB said today that Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz are no longer needed on the national selection committee.

“My time serving as a member of selection committee for PCB comes to an end, I just want my people to know that I have served the game I love with faith and sincerity and have given 100 percent for the betterment of Pakistan cricket,” the former cricketer said on X, formerly Twitter, after the PCB’s section board decision to remove him.

It was a privilege to be on the selection panel. It was a delight to work as a team on the seven-man panel to choose the national team. Everyone’s vote was equal, and we shared the burden of that process. I was honored to help.” “Thank you for praying for me. I wish the Pakistan cricket team all success “he said.

The board maintained Mohammad Yousuf, Asad Shafiq, Bilal Afzal, and the captain and head coach on the selection panel. Wahab previously denied pressuring the selecting committee. “I don’t agree with the statements being discussed about adding pressure to the selection committee,” the former pacer wrote on X.
