Delhi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has removed former fast bowler Wahab Riaz and veteran all-rounder Abdul Razzaq from the selection committee of its national cricket team.

Now, after them, former batsmen Mohammad Yusuf and Asad Shafiq are included as members of the selection committee, while Bilal Afzal is also one of its members.
