Pakistan pacer Riaz retires from international cricket

LAHORE, Pakistan: Pakistani fast bowler Wahab Riaz announced his retirement from international cricket on Wednesday, three years after playing his last match for the country.
The 38-year-old left-armer said he felt it was the right time to draw the curtain on a 15-year international career.
"I wanted to play the 2023 World Cup but felt that I stand no chance of a comeback, so this is the right time," Riaz told a news conference in Lahore.
Known for his pace and aggression, Riaz made his one-day debut in 2008, and played his first Test in the spot-fixing-marred 2010 series in England.
