One of the finest all-rounders that Pakistan produces, Imad Wasim finally announced his retirement from the international circuit. He made his debut against Zimbabwe in a T20 match on 24th May 2015.
The 34 year old played his last international match 24th April 2023 against New Zealand in a T20 match. He was captain in a few matches for his team.
Through his social media he announced the step and said,
“In recent days I have been doing a lot of thinking About my international career and I have come to the conclusion that now is the right time for me to announce my retirement from international cricket. I would like to thank the PCB for all their support over the years – it has truly been an honour to represent Pakistan.
Each of my 121 appearances across the ODI and T20 format was a dream come true. It’s an exciting time for Pakistan cricket going forwards with new coaches and leadership incoming. I wish all involved every success and I look forward to watching the team excel.
Thank you to the Pakistan fans for always supporting me with such passion. A final thank you to my family and friends who have been so important in helping me achieve at the highest level. I now look forward to focusing on the next stage of my playing career away from the international stage.”
