LAHORE – After playing professional cricket for more than two decades, former Pakistani skipper Wahab Riaz has now landed a role in the Punjab caretaker setup as sports minister.
Known for toe-crushing Yorkers, the ace bowler was named as sports minister of the country’s most populated region, Punjab, by caretaker chief minister Mohsin Naqvi.
Reports in local media suggest that the father of two is currently playing in the Bangladesh Premier League and will take the oath at a later time. The cricketer has not shared anything on this development on any of his social media handles.
Following his selection in the new caretaker setup, Wahab’s name started trending on Twitter. Here’s how people reacted:
