Wahab Riaz opened up on Pakistan spin bowling woes in a conversation with a cricket website. According to him, the side mainly consisted of players that were in the team for the past three to four years. 

He lamented on Pakistan management not looking for other options despite knowing Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz were giving below-par performances.

The dismal performance of the national men’s cricket team in the ongoing World Cup 2023 prompted the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to carry out a major reshuffle, including changes of captains of Test and T20I.

The team suffered five losses, the most in their World Cup history, including their first defeat against Afghanistan in ODIs also their first against South Africa in World Cups this century.

Babar Azam stepped down as Pakistan’s all-format captain as the team failed to qualify for the semifinals as they finished fifth in the standings with eight points.

Mohammad Hafeez replaced Mickey Arthur as Director whereas Wahab Riaz became Inzamam-ul-Haq’s successor.
