According to details, Riaz did not have a work permit on the visa, hence he was not allowed to enter the country. The left-arm pacer has arrived back in Pakistan and will travel back to England after getting his work permit.

Riaz has confirmed that he has already applied for the work permit and will travel back to England as soon as he receives it.

The senior pacer was picked up by Trent Rockets in the replacement draft in the first edition of the exciting cricket tournament. He was added as a replacement by the franchise after Australian fast bowler, Nathan Coulter-Nile backed out due to scheduling conflicts.
