Essex pull off Wahab Riaz coup - chairman - 02-11-2016 Essex have pulled off a marquee signing for the NatWest T20 Blast campaign with the signing of the Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz. Riaz will feature in seven matches for the Essex Eagles, before being replaced by the New Zealander Adam Milne. Riaz has 106 Twenty20 wickets at an impressive average of 22.21, and has had spells with Kent Spitfires and Surrey in the past. Head Coach Chris Silverwood said "We are pleased to have Wahab joining the squad for the first half of the NatWest T20 Blast season. He will add a different dimension to our bowling attack, being a left armer and bowling with real pace. "We are looking at this competition with confidence. We need to improve our performance from the past few seasons, and drive our limited-overs cricket forward. Wahab's signing helps us with this."
