The inside story regarding the dismissal of Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq from the selection committee and management has been revealed.

A significant factor in their removal was the head coach, Gary Kirsten and assistant coach, Azhar Mehmood’s report, which highlighted several issues.

According to sources, Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq were accused of favoring certain players during team selections, despite these players' poor performances.

This decision was met with resistance from other selectors, but Wahab and Razzaq insisted on their inclusion.

Furthermore, Wahab Riaz was criticized for failing to meet his responsibilities as a senior manager during foreign tours.

The coaches' report also mentioned Shaheen Shah Afridi's lack of seriousness, which Wahab Riaz did not address. There were further complaints about other players committing disciplinary violations due to having their families with them.

Both Wahab Riaz and Mansoor Rana were unable to enforce curfew timings.

Furthermore, the board chairman has instructed that action be taken against individuals who are creating factions within the team.
