Wahab Riaz, a fast bowler for Pakistan, has been named interim Punjab's sports minister.

Governor Baligh Ur Rehman gave the newly chosen cabinet members the oath during a ceremony that was held at the Governor's House in Lahore.

In due order, Riaz, who is now playing for Khulna Tigers in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023, would assume control.


In 156 matches across forms in international cricket, the left-arm bowler for Pakistan has taken 237 wickets.

In 2019, the legendary bowler announced his red-ball cricket retirement.

Social media users have sparked a meme storm after Pakistan's seasoned fast bowler Wahab Riaz was named the interim sports minister.

                                  

Fans of the sport immediately flocked to Twitter to congratulate the cricketer on his appointment and, of course, to share memes and jokes about the appointment as soon as the news of the appointment became known.

Regarding Riaz's lack of expertise in the workplace, one user posted a funny meme.

                                            

Along with the dissolution of his government, the assembly's dissolution brought an end to Pervez Elahi's turbulent, nearly six-month-long tenure in the top position.
