IMAD WASIM’S COMEBACK INTO PAKISTAN TEAM:
Imad Wasim was the captain of Karachi Kings this season after Babar Azam left Kings for PSL 2023, even though Karachi Kings were badly thrashed by every team this season but still their captain Imad Wasim enjoyed the form of his life with Karachi this season scoring most runs for his team in this PSL 2023 season with an excellent SR as well and the debate has started that whether Imad should make a comeback in Pakistan Team as well after his recent performances with the bat.
Imad Wasim has never scored this many runs in any of the previous PSL seasons and with this purple patch, he also completed 1000 runs in the Pakistan Super League history for Karachi Kings after Babar Azam but still too close too far for Imad as Karachi Kings were on the losing side the whole tournament even after his excellent performances for his team, so let’s try to figure out the answer;
KK PERFORMANCE IN PSL 2023:
Imad Wasim had great success with the bat and had his best ever PSL tournament he could’ve dreamt off but his majority runs are in losing cause for his team because his team struggled a lot in the Pakistan Super League 2023 as well with KK failing to qualify for the second round of PSL 2023, they failed to qualify last year as well finished at the last of the points table and again this year they ended up on the 5TH number on the PSL points table.
KK POSITION IN PSL 2022 – 6
KK POSITION IN PSL 2023 – 5
IMAD PERFORMANCE AS ALLROUNDER:
Even though Karachi Kings had a very bad tournament but no blame on Imad Wasim as a batsman who always stood up whenever it mattered the most for his team, played all the group stage matches for his team batting in the middle order in the state of bother for his team still ended up in the top 3 highest runs scorers of the Pakistan Super League 2023.
- He amassed more than 350 runs in the PSL 2023 but also the main thing was that he was unstoppable in this season as no bowler could get him out which means he ended this tournament with a batting average of 150+ batting in the middle order and what makes his more special is that he did all this along with a Strike Rate of more than 170 which is a mystery itself that how he has managed to do that.
- Even though he was in great pressure because his team couldn’t cross the finish line many times and at the end they were the first team to be knocked out of the HBL PSL 2023 season, but Imad’s performances with the bat proves that he has a very strong temperament and this is what’s required in a match winner.
- Imad Wasim enjoyed great success in the PSL 2023 with the bat and with can be a return ticket for Imad Wasim in the upcoming CWC23 as well as in the Pakistan T20 team as he scored more than 400 runs in the whole tournament and which are the highest by Imad Wasim in any of PSL season, his stats in PSL 2023 as a batter are as follow:
INNINGS – 10
RUNS – 404
AVERAGE – 134.6
STRIKE RATE – 175.2
- In all the talks of Imad Wasm’s comeback to the Pakistan team because of his batting form we should keep in view one thing and which is Imad’s bowling form, no doubt his purple patch with the bat is just exceptional but his bowling in the PSL 2023 is still a point of concern for Pakistan as in Pakistan team Nawaz is playing as a bowling allrounder but Imad Wasim is more of a batting allrounder this season and on many occasions, Imad didn’t even bowl his spell of 4 overs for his team when opposition batters were on the charge against his bowlers, his stats as a bowler in PSL 2023 were not as good as his batting performances.
DIFFERENCE IN ROLE FOR PAK:
One main thing we should keep in mind is that the majority of these wickets by Imad Wasim in Pakistan Super League 2023 came in the powerplay and for the Pakistan team this role is fulfilled by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah followed by Nawaz if ever needed to bowl in powerplay because can even bowl in any phase of the game but as we all know Imad Wasim is mainly a new ball powerplay bowler which will cause issues related his role in Pakistan Team and he will be picked as a batting all-rounder for the National team.
IMAD AS BATTER IN PAK TEAM:
Another issue in the Pakistan team as a batting all-rounder is that he will not get the opportunity regularly to bat in the middle phase or to pace his innings because in Pakistan T20i Team, very rarely happens that a player at #7-8 is getting the opportunity to showcase his talent and Imad’s batting form will not be utilized properly so for that to avoid team management will have to put faith in Imad as a proper and give him chance to bat in Top 5 of the National team.
FINAL VERDICT:
So, now that we have discussed both sides of the picture in Imad’s case, one thing is for sure Imad Wasim is in the form of his life had a brilliant tournament with the bat and I don’t think a tournament like this can be ignored by the selectors or captain and there is a strong possibility that the experienced pro Imad Wasim is expected to be included in the t20 squad of Pakistan team for the upcoming series vs Afghanistan and then vs New Zealand.
