Has he been dropped from the side because of the jacket thing? If so then that is crap.

Yeah, AWTA.Would actually be gun IMO.

As I have said the ICC needs to either ban him or **** off. If there is new evidence then use it and ban him in a court like they did with Butt and co. What they shouldn't do is have a quite word with the PCB to drop Wahab.Why is it crap, if there has been new evidence come to light about Riaz during the trial, he shouldn't be near the side imo. Pakistan are taking the right steps and keeping him out of the way till it's all sorted, if this is the reason. The last thing the team needs is more controversy, especially when it appears to be doing quite well at the moment. If it was my team, I wouldn't want any player who has a huge shadow over them playing, till the investigations have been completed.
That's all well and good but you're not taking into account what investigation needs to be done and what extra evidence needs to be collected, it's alright saying ban him or keep out but things are not always as straight forward as that are they.As I have said the ICC needs to either ban him or **** off.

awtaIf Wahab's been dropped on form, then OK, fair enough.
But not picking because he might have spot-fixed is ****ing dodgy. Fair enough not picking him if he was charged, but innocent till proven guilty counts, surely?
Depends what reasonable suspiscion there is surely. If there is something that looks very bad, and that it seems likely that in due course even worse things will come to light in such a vein, it seems wise and appropriate to exclude him from the team. As mentioned before, the last thing Pakistan cricket needs after beginning it's recovery is a setback after another player in the side is exposed as a cheat.If Wahab's been dropped on form, then OK, fair enough.

Wahab can't have been dropped on form because he was brilliant in the world cup.Surely the safe, sensible option for the PCB is to not pick any players who have a justifiable suspicion hanging over them until they're cleared?
It's unfortunate for the players involved, particularly if they turn out to be innocent, but if Pakistan are to draw a line under the whole spot-fixing saga, they can't afford to pick players who are under investigation.
