LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz has Tuesday vowed to perform well in the ICC World Cup 2019 and repeat the performance that he gave in 2015’s edition.
The left-arm paceman talked to media in Lahore and affirmed that he will try not to bowl like he did against India in the Champions Trophy 2017, and had to apologize from the nation afterwards.
My performance has let down my nation n team, Im sorry sp to PCT fans. I tried my best but it was not good enough n I m heart broken as well

Let it be known that the 33-year-old was not picked up by the selection committee in the initial squad for the mega event.
Riaz – along with Mohammad Amir and Asif Ali – was included in the team after Pakistan lost 4-0 to England in the ODI series where bowlers could not perform well.
