Wahab Riaz, Abdul Razzaq removed from PCB selection committee

Former cricketers Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq have been removed from Pakistan's selection committee.

The decision follows Pakistan's disappointing performance in the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2024, where the team failed to progress beyond the group stage.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday morning confirmed the development in an official statement, saying “It has notified Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz that their services will no longer be required in the national selection committee setup.”

“The PCB will provide further updates on the selection committee’s composition in due course,” PCB statement added.

Abdul Razzaq was a member of the men’s and women’s selection committee, while Wahab was a member of the men’s selection committee.

The remaining five members of the men’s selection committee include the head coaches and captains for their respective formats, along with Mohammad Yousuf, Asad Shafiq, Bilal Afzal (data analyst).
