In response to the question of whether he will take back his retirement or not, if PCB calls for his services, the allrounder said that if Pakistan needs him, he will be there to help the team indicating that he could consider coming out of retirement.
“Whatever I am today, it’s because of Pakistan and people know me because of that, so if Pakistan needs me, I will be there, why not but if they don’t need my services then I have no issue with that either.”
Imad Wasim could not make it to the ICC ODI World Cup Squad in India last year, as he had not featured in a single one-day match over the calendar year.
This PSL season he has given some performance in spells here and there, like his quickfire 30 runs against Multan Sultans and a three-for against Quetta Gladiators.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board could consider him for the T20 World Cup in June which will be held in familiar pitches for Imad in the Caribbean and USA.
