Rashid Latif Calls for Fair Selection Process
Imad’s outstanding performances in the PSL 8 proved his worth as a cricketer. In the ODI format, he has scored 504 runs with an average of 50.40 in 18 innings, including eight not-outs and a strike rate of 133. He was also ranked third in the ODI all-rounder rankings when the PCB dropped him.
Imad’s ambition is to leave a legacy behind in white ball cricket, much like Brendon McCullum has done for New Zealand. He stated, “My target is to see Pakistan win the World Cup 2023 and be in the top three rankings in white ball cricket.” Rashid Latif, the former Pakistani cricketer, expressed his bewilderment at Imad’s absence from the ODI team, stating, “I don’t understand why Imad Wasim is not in the ODI team. When Imad Wasim was dropped from the team, his performance was good even then. And now that he has come to the team, he has come by performing. This is unfair, the selection committee will have to think with Imad Wasim and Pakistan Cricket.”
