The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has relieved Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razak from their duties as the national selectors after their disappointing outing in the recently held T20 World Cup campaign. Riaz and Razzaq handled the committee, which had no chairman, and comprised of the skipper, head coach, and a data analyst, with the task of picking the best possible team for Pakistan.

“The Pakistan Cricket Board today confirmed that it has notified Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz that their services will no longer be required in the national selection committee setup,” read a statement from the PCB.

Razzaq was a member of both the men’s and women’s selection committee, while Wahab was a member of the men’s panel. “The PCB will provide further updates on the selection committee’s composition in due course,” the statement from PCB read.

Wahab, who has been a selector since last November also went to the T20 World Cup as senior team manager. The Board outlined no reasons for sacking Wahab and Razzaq. Former Test batters Muhammad Yousuf and Asad Shafiq are the two remaining national selectors on the panel.

The Pakistani team could not proceed beyond the league stage and lost to tournament debutants USA and arch-foes India in its group games during the mega-event, which ended with Rohit Sharma and his men becoming champions with a seven-run win over South Africa in the final.
