After announcing his retirement from international cricket in November 2023, Imad Wasim has made a surprise U-turn and declared his availability for Pakistan in T20Is. The all-rounder's stellar performance in the recent Pakistan Super League (PSL) season, where he was the Player of the Match in the final, prompted him to reconsider his retirement and aim to play for Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Wasim thanked the PCB for their trust and expressed his commitment to bring success to Pakistan.
The PCB's search for a new coach for the Men's team ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup has been met with disappointment as top contenders Shane Watson and Darren Sammy rejected the offer. With this, the PCB now has to build an interim team management for the upcoming New Zealand series.
In a surprising turn of events, former Pakistan cricket team players Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir have made themselves available for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup set to be held in the USA and the West Indies. Wasim had retired from international cricket last November, while Amir had previously retired from Test cricket in 2019 and all forms of international cricket in 2020. However, with Wasim hinting at a possible return and Amir's desire to play for his country, both players have officially announced their availability for selection in the T20I squad, providing a much-needed boost to Pakistan's chances in the global tournament.
