Inconsistency and injuries have hampered his progress throughout the career.  When he is in a good rhythm he causes havoc, but sometimes he becomes a problem for his own team.  In the second Test vs Sri Lanka, Wahab Riaz missed his bowling run-up five times in a row which infuriated his coach Mickey Arthur.

Wahab Riaz bowled an extremely long over
