Imad Wasim said, “I was not in the right mental state, and if I were in that condition, I would never have made this decision.”
He added, “This is life, and everything is possible, not impossible. I have made this decision without any intention of turning back. I have decided to retire. It’s a significant step, and I am uncertain about what life has in store, but it is what it is.”
It should be noted that Imad Wasim’s announcement of retirement from international cricket across all formats came as a shocking development for fans of the Green Shirts.
