Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed former Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz as the chief selector of the Pakistan men's national team in the aftermath of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.

The ex-pacer’s assignment will be the selection of the national men’s squad for the three-match Test series against Australia from 14 December to 7 January in Australia and the five-match T20I series against New Zealand from 12 to 21 January in New Zealand.

Wahab, who made his international debut in 2008, represented Pakistan in 27 Tests, 91 ODIs and 36 T20Is picking up 237 wickets and scoring 1200 runs across the three formats.

He was Pakistan’s second-most successful bowler in World Cups, registering 35 wickets across three editions of the marquee event.

Talking after his appointment as the chief selector, Wahab thanked the PCB staff for giving him such an opportunity and expressed his desire to select a competent team for the Australia Test and New Zealand T20I tour.

"I am honoured to assume the role of chairperson for the national men's selection committee and I extend my gratitude to Chairman PCB Management Committee, Mr Zaka Ashraf, for entrusting me with this responsibility. The decision to involve former players in cricketing matters is commendable and I am willing to work for the betterment of Pakistan cricket," Wahab said.
