Wahab Riaz: Former fast bowler named chief selector for Pakistan men's cricket team
- Published
Wahab took 83 Test wickets, 120 in ODIs and 34 in T20s for Pakistan
Pakistan have appointed former fast bowler Wahab Riaz as their chief selector for the men's team.
The 38-year-old, who only retired from international duty in August to focus on franchise cricket, will work alongside the recently-appointed men's team director Mohammad Hafeez.
"The decision to involve former players is commendable," said Wahab, who replaces Inzamam-ul-Haq.
Pakistan begin a three-Test tour of Australia on 14 December.
Having disappointingly failed to get out of the group stage of the ongoing 50-over World Cup, Pakistan have since made a number of changes, with Babar Azam replaced as captain in all formats.
Batter Shan Masood - who spent last season as Yorkshire skipper - has taken over as Test captain, while pace bowler Shaheen Afridi will lead the T20 side. A captain for the one-day side is yet to be named.
