The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed that they have notified Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz that their services will no longer be required in the national selection committee set up.
"Australia is always a tough tour but we think that these players have the capability and capacity to not only do well, but come out winners," said Wahab Riaz.
Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) major shake-up following their World Cup debacle has seen former fast bowler Wahab Riaz being roped in as chief selector, the PCB confirmed yesterday.
Former fast bowler Wahab Riaz was appointed as Pakistan's chief selector on Friday, after Inzamam-ul-Haq stepped down last month following allegations of a conflict of interests.
The International Cricket Council says Pakistan's Rumman Raes has been approved as a replacement for the injured Wahab Riaz at the ongoing Champions Trophy one-day tournament.
Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz is ruled out of the Champions Trophy after suffering an ankle problem during their defeat by arch-rivals India in their Group B clash.
Things got heated between Pakistan bowlers Yasir Shah and Wahab Riaz on the eve of the first Test against Australia but the pair have put to bed any ideas of a rift.
Pakistan target victory over England in the third and final Test from Sunday in what would be a fitting farewell for Misbah-ul-Haq, the country's most successful captain who has hinted he's ready to retire.
England coach Trevor Bayliss is thought to have spoken to the match referee over Pakistan's Wahab Riaz using his foot rather than his hand to field the ball.
