CPL 2018: Pre-tournament Overseas XI
Although there is a temptation to accommodate all these players in, only the best XI can be chosen depending on the dynamics of the side.
7. Imad Wasim | Jamaica Tallawahs
Pakistani bowling all-rounder Imad Wasim is the next man in the XI. This southpaw’s heroics with the bat will be very useful for his side lower down the order and he scores his runs at a brisk pace. Imad has replaced his compatriot Shahid Afridi in the tournament as the latter has decided to pull out due to a knee injury. He is sort of a like-for-like replacement being a leg-spinner and with his ability to bowl with the new ball and his in-slider to the right-handed batsmen is one that has troubled many.
The 29-year-old has played 25 T20Is thus far and has scored 122 runs at a strike-rate over 150. With the ball, he has picked 27 wickets at an economy just over 6. Playing for the Karachi Kings in the recently concluded PSL, the left-arm spinner picked 5 wickets in 8 games at a very good economy and scored 69 runs with the bat.
