Wahab Riaz is also fondly called Vicky by his team mates, and is a left arm medium pace bowler, and a right handed batsman, who has played first class cricket for Hyderabad, Lahore and Punjab.

Eight years after he made his first class debut, he was picked in the ODI squad for the series against Zimbabwe, and finally made his debut in the 5th ODI. The Zimbabweans found it difficult to pick him, as he scalped a 2/19 in the eight overs that he bowled.

He also made his T20 debut in 2008, when he was picked for the ODI and the T20 series against the Bangladesh side. He did not get a chance to bat, but as a bowler picked up 1/7 in 2 overs. With Shoaib Akhtar serving a suspension, there is a good possibility of Wahab Riaz getting picked for the Pakistani team in the future.
