Cricket Fans Eagerly Await Imad Wasim’s Fitness Decision for Pakistan’s Clash with India
As Pakistan’s T20 World Cup campaign hangs in the balance, the team faces a crucial last-minute decision over the inclusion of allrounder Imad Wasim for their high-stakes clash against India on Sunday.
Ten days after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated that Imad missed the final game of the T20I series against England due to a “suspected rib injury” for “precautionary reasons,” it has become clear that his injury is more serious than initially reported. Imad was forced to sit out Pakistan’s opening game against the USA, which they lost in a Super Over, due to the same complaint.
“While the PCB has released footage of Imad bowling in the nets, the team management will make a final call on the day of the match after assessing his fitness.”
Imad’s potential unavailability is a significant concern for Pakistan, as his absence has left them struggling to balance the side. In the game against the USA, they had to rely on the out-of-form Azam Khan and Shadab Khan as the only specialist spinners, with Shadab drawing criticism from captain Babar Azam for their inability to pick up wickets.
Imad’s injury history is a source of worry, as he has struggled with a chronic knee problem throughout his career, which even forced him to briefly retire from international cricket in 2023 before returning for this World Cup. With Pakistan already flirting with an early exit, it remains unclear how much of a role Imad will be able to play in his international swansong.
The 100-ball cricket live, Blind cricket, club cricket, and fantasy club cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the news on Imad’s fitness, as his inclusion or absence could have a significant impact on Pakistan’s chances in their high-stakes match against India.
