New Delhi. Pakistan has announced its team for T20 World Cup. The Babar Azam-led team will start their campaign against India in the T20 World Cup on 23 October. At last, Pakistan announced its team. Since then questions have been raised on team selection. Fakhar Zaman, there is a ruckus on Shoaib Malik’s ouster. Now another Pakistani player has proved Babar Azam wrong.
Wasim was ignored by Pakistan
All-rounder Imad Wasim was ignored for the World Cup, but he raised questions on the Pakistan team selection on the very day of selection, creating a ruckus in the Caribbean Premier League. Wasim is the third highest wicket taker in this season of CPL. He took 10 wickets in 7 matches. Playing for Jamaica Tallawahs in the 15th match of the league, he took 3 wickets for 14 runs in 3 overs against Barbados Royals and was the player of the match. Jamaica won the match by 6 runs on the basis of Imad. Actually Imad has been out of the national team for a long time. He played the last match for Pakistan against Australia in the T20 World Cup 2021 and after that he was out of the team.
Bad phase started after leaving captaincy
Imad’s bad phase started from last year itself. In fact, he led Karachi in the last season of the Pakistan Super League, but after that he was removed from the captaincy and Babar Azam was given the responsibility of the team in his place. Imad Wasim has been out of the national team since then. Imad captained Karachi in the most 41 matches, winning 20 and losing 17 matches. In the past, he was also stuck in bad luck by praising Indian star Virat Kohli.
