Wahab Riaz said : “We are prepared for the challenge like the rest of the sides. Our players, both local and foreign, have been playing cricket regularly which is of course a great sign for us. It makes the life of a captain easy if the players are in touch. Of course, for us, it is a matter of one game at a time. We have to ensure we win the Eliminator 1 and take it match-by-match from there on. Hopefully, we can win all our games and lift the trophy. As a captain you do get under pressure, I won’t say that there is no pressure. I have trust in my team and we will do well and win the tournament”

Wahab Riaz told : “It is great that we will be able to complete PSL 5 and decide the champion on the field. National T20 cup will serve as an ideal preparation for players and will get them back in rhythm as they haven’t played any cricket for the past five to six months,”

Wahab Riaz said : “I was under pressure while playing the third T20I against England. I had a lot on my mind. It was the result of two months of consistent hard work. The entire team wanted to win the last match and end the tour with a victory. I am happy that my performance helped the team,” “It was the first match of the tour for me. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t under pressure. I had a lot of questions in my head. I gave it my best effort. Whatever the situation, I never shy away from hard work and then I get rewarded for it,”

Wahab Riaz said : “It was a dream come true to take five wickets on debut and that too against England. English side was one of the best Test sides during that time. I always visualized how to dismiss a particular batsman and that visualization led me to take fifer,” “I was the happiest after dismissing Morgan because he was new and we had heard a lot about him as a player because of his shot. I wanted to dismiss Morgan specifically,”
