Web Desk — Pakistan’s right-arm fast bowler Wahab Riaz says he will retire from international cricket after World Cup 2023 in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent interview, the 36-year-old pacer said he believed he had a few years of “good cricket” left in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone has to say goodbye to cricket one day. But my target is to carry on playing until the 2023 World Cup, that is if I remain fully fit and my passion for the game remains strong as well. Obviously, if I am performing I will carry on,\u201d Wahab added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bowler said he was playing in a couple of leagues, including the Pakistan Super League (PSL), and was bowling well. Riaz said on the basis of his recent performance he had decided to keep playing international cricket till 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pacer said he believed age did not matter as long as an individual was fit and performed well for his\/her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFitness levels, diet, and all these things have improved a lot in modern-day cricket so times have changed,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wahab Riaz admitted that in Pakistan there were a few examples where players were sidelined due to their age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wahab, however, said he has “nothing against young players”. “They bring energy and a future with them. But the thing is experience, especially as a fast bowler, is so very important especially in T20 cricket these days,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
