The veteran Pakistan based fast-bowler has been one of the most consistent and aggressive performers for the Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League and also for the national team when handed opportunities. Who can forget his enchanting spell against Shane Watson in the 2015 Cricket World Cup
Considering this, it is no surprise to see him leading the charts for the highest wicket-takers ever in the tournament with 30 wickets in 19 matches for the Peshawar Zalmi in the 2016-17 edition of the league. Riaz enjoys the ability to unnerve batsmen with his bounce and variations resulting in wickets on the trot.
