Karachi: Fast Bowler Left-Arm Pakistan Wahab Riaz plans to retire from Cricket International after the 2023 World Cup in India.
The 36-year-old PACER, who has played 27 tests, 91 ODIS and 36 T20IS, has not become regular on the Pakistani team for a while now and is also ignored for the T20 World Cup.
“Everyone must say goodbye to Cricket one day.
But my target is to play up to 2023 World Cups, ie if I stay fit and my desire for the game remains strong too.
Obviously if I appear, I appear, I will do, I will Continue, “Wahab said in an interview.
“I think I still have two or three years of good cricket going to me,” he said.
“I have entered and exited the national team for a while now, but I played in domestic cricket and also in different leagues, including the Super Pakistani league, and I performed well, making me keep going.” Pacer, who emerged as an expert in the sports channel for the T20 World Cup, said he firmly believed that he could be around as a player who did up to 2023.
“My belief is simple.
Age is not a problem as long as a player is suitable and appears and enjoys his cricket .
There are so many examples around today.
“The level of fitness, diet, and all these things have increased a lot in modern crickets, so times have changed.” Unfortunately Wahab, in Pakistan Cricket, there are examples of players who are sidelined because of their age.
” I am not against young players, obviously you need it on the team.
They bring energy and the future with them.
But the problem is experience, especially as a bowler that is fast, very important, especially on the T20 Cricket lately, “he said.
Wahab said he was disappointed to miss the T20 World Cup but he could understand the voter policy.” My work is focusing well as a player, only that is my control.
If I can play in the T20 World Cup next year or the 2023 event, it will be great.
