Wahab Riaz has been a pretty decent player ever since he made his debut in international cricket way back in 2008.
He is also a very emotional man
Wouldn’t be wrong to say he sometimes gets carried away with his emotions
Like that time he had a run in with Shane Watson
And when during the last PSL he had a tiff with Ahmed Shehzad
Passion to win and aggression at times makes you do funny things. For all young ones who watched please don't repeat nor get influenced pls.

Wahab has also made news during the current season of the Pakistan Super League.
As a cricketer, Wahab Riaz has his justified critics but NOBODY can question his integrity & passion for the game.

Especially when his wife kinda sorta betrayed him by tweeting about supporting her home city, Lahore, even though her husband plays for Peshawar.

And when asked about his feelings about playing the final match in his hometown of Lahore, Wahab couldn’t help but get emotional
