Wahab Riaz to retire from international cricket after 2023 World Cup
Islamabad: Pakistani cricketer Wahab Riaz announced he will retire from international cricket after 2023 World Cup.
In a recent interview, the 36-year-old pacer, who was appearing on TV as a sports analyst on a TV channel during the T20 World Cup and has not featured in the Pakistani batting line-up for a while now, was quoted as saying by Geo News that he believes he has a few years of "good cricket" left in him.
“Everyone has to say goodbye to cricket one day. But my target is to carry on playing until the 2023 World Cup, that is, if I remain fully fit and my passion for the game remains strong as well. Obviously, if I am performing I will carry on,” Wahab said.
“Fitness levels, diet and all these things have improved a lot in modern-day cricket so times have changed," he said.
