Corrupt board. Corrupt Players.

Still hits the ball better than Babar and Rizwan

 

[RidiculousMan]

That's one way to eat up a youngster's spot

 

[Slim]

Wahab Jacket Riaz is one of the most corrupt person i have seen in Pakistan cricket. Barely any talent, living up the hype of a nothing spell that resulted in a loss. An utter disgrace! Shame on Mohsin Naqvi and PCB for enabling this individual.

Brainless decision just like his bowling. I bet some idiots will still justify this decision.

Play for what ? Pathetic mentality of some ex players they never wanna move on . Just like malik was giving excuses if he plays he will know players better . Rubbish

Wahab Riaz, a former Pakistan cricketer and national selector, has withdrawn from the National T20 Cup following intense criticism. He last represented Pakistan in 2020 and was set to play for Lahore Whites after a strong trial performance for Lahore Greens. However, his selection sparked widespread backlash from fans, who felt that a retired player should not occupy a spot meant for emerging talent.

What is left for Wahab Riaz to prove now

What is left for Wahab Riaz to prove now

Why can’t Rizwan and Babar prove they are better hitters of the ball than Wahab Riaz?

Rizwan and Babar are history let them be , move on

Rizwan and Babar are history let them be , move on

No they are not until they take international retirement in this format.

I will do my part in making sure the agendas don’t creep in.
