Wahab Riaz, a Pakistani bowler, has announced his retirement from international cricket after a 13-year career.
“I’ve decided to retire from international cricket after an incredible journey.” “A huge thank you to PCB, my family, coaches, mentors, teammates, fans, and everyone who has supported me,” the 38-year-old pacer wrote on the X platform, which was once known as Twitter.
Wahab Riaz took 237 international wickets in 27 Tests, 91 ODIs, and 36 T20Is. He last represented Pakistan in December 2020. The senior pacer, on the other hand, competed in the Pakistan Super League as recently as March of this year.
“Exciting times are ahead in the world of franchise cricket!” The pacer’s left arm was added.
“I have been speaking about my retirement plans for the past two years, that 2023 is my target to retire from International cricket, and I feel comfortable now more than ever that I have served my country and National team to the best I could have,” Wahab Riaz said in a statement following his international retirement on Wednesday.
“Representing Pakistan on the international stage has been an honour and a privilege.” As I say goodbye to this chapter, I am excited to begin on a new adventure in franchise cricket, where I hope to entertain and inspire fans while competing against some of the world’s top performers,” he added.
