http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839 hopes to get back in national team soon- Cricket News Update
Despite being excluded from the team’s squads for their tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, Pakistani left-arm fast bowler, Wahab Riaz, is hopeful of regaining his position in the side.
“I am determined to prolong my career and the snub for a couple of series cannot break down my determination and resolve. Good days come with the bad and that’s how the life of a player goes,” said Wahab, while talking to
The Express Tribune.
Earlier, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) selection committee announced three separate teams for the Lankan tour, and ignored the 26-year-old fast bowler for his unimpressive stint during the last concluded domestic tournament, Faysal Bank Super Eight
Twenty20.
Riaz’s last international appearance was also touted as a major reason behind his exclusion from the squad. His below-par bowling performance against old rivals, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, during the Asia Cup 2012, in March, saw him concede a whooping 50 from just four overs
– a match which the Men in Green went onto lose.
The player however, has taken the decision on the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 and asserted that he will work his way back to form and consequently make a push for a place in the team.
“In fact, the snub has given me the motivation to work extra hard and that’s exactly what I’ll be doing to regain my place in the national squad.”
According to the selection committee’s policy, the speedster’s return hinges on his performances at the domestic front, along with maintaining a certain level of fitness. For that the left-armer will take part in all the national level tournaments, including
the upcoming http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 Champions League, which begins from May 20.
“I am playing club matches continuously in Lahore and will also be taking part in the Pakistan Champions League that is to be held in Karachi. I will play domestic cricket and will continue to play wherever I get a chance until I regain the selectors’ confidence,”
Riaz was expected to fill the vacant slots left by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 tour. However, inconsistency and injury has limited his involvement with the national side, coupled with the rise of other promising bowlers, including
