Former Pakistan pace bowler Wasim Akram has said that bowler Wahab Riaz is suffering merely with psychological issues despite having the skills and pace and urged the player to believe in himself.

In an interview with pakpassion.net, Akram said that Riaz had problems bowling the delivery that comes back into the right-handers because his wrist was very tight.

The former player said that he had spoken to Wahab at length at a bowling camp they had earlier in the year and told him to concentrate on his strengths, without worrying about trying to bowl the in-swinger to the right-handers.
