Virender Sehwag accuses Wahab Riaz, Pakistan's chief selector, of showing favoritism

Virender Sehwag, a former cricket player from India, has accused Pakistan selector Wahab Riazof showing partiality when choosing the national team.

In November of last year, Riaz was named chief selector of the Pakistan national men's selection committee. He promptly summoned up his playing partner, Muhammad Amir, to rejoin the team.

Wahaz is presently a member of the selection committee for the Pakistan men's national cricket team. He ended his career as an international cricket player last year.

Amir, who had also given up on international cricket, returned to the national team a few months after Wahab was brought in to help with player selection. Sehwag highlighted the development and questioned Riaz's motivations in leading the selection committee.

"Wahaz Riaz and Mohammad Amir were the two individuals who used to voice their criticism of their national team on Pakistan TV news stations. Currently, one of them plays first team while the other is a selector. After criticizing the team once, what are they doing now that they are in a position of authority?" Sehwag stated during a conversation on Cricbuzz.

"Let's include Amir on the team as we have played together. This is not possible," remarked the former opener for India.

Rumors have surfaced recently suggesting that Pakistan's cricket team may replace its captain and players in light of the reigning champions' dismal showing at the T20 world championship.
