Former Pakistan cricketer Wahab Riaz, who is advisor to Punjab’s caretaker government, has ensured foolproof arrangements for the Asia Cup 2023 matches in Multan and Lahore. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee (MC) chairman Zaka Ashraf met with the representatives of Punjab’s caretaker government on Friday to discuss the arrangements.
During the meeting, Wahab, who recently announced his retirement from cricket, ensured PCB foolproof arrangements for the Asia Cup matches. The two parties also sorted out differences that happened in the previous tenure of Najam Sethi.
