Wahab Riaz to Supervise Pakistan Women's Cricket Team for South Africa Tour

  • Former Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz appointed to supervise the national women's squad for an upcoming white-ball series in South Africa.
  • The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced Wahab will mentor the team, supported by coaching staff including Imran Farhat and Abdul Rehman.
  • Fatima Sana will captain the team in both white-ball formats, marking their first assignment since a disappointing ICC World Cup performance.
  • The team's poor showing in the last World Cup led to the dismissal of former head coach Mohammad Wasim.
  • Two uncapped players, Saira Jabeen and Humna Bilal, join the T20I squad, while Ayesha Zafar, Gull Feroza, Tasmia Rubab, and Najiha Alvi return to the ODI team.

Why It Matters: Wahab Riaz will mentor Pakistan Women's team for South Africa series after World Cup disappointment.
