'It's out of my control' - Imad Wasim posts cryptic tweet after exclusion from Pakistan's T20 World Cup squad

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced their squad for the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup on Thursday with no real surprises. The experienced batter Fakhar Zaman is part of the reserve squad following his knee injury but star pacer Shaheen Afridi is named in the squad as Pakistan are hoping for the player's recovery before their opening clash against India on October 23.

Imad Wasim, who was part of last year's T20 World Cup in UAE, failed to make it to the squad and posted a cryptic tweet over his exclusion. He posted a picture stating, "it's out of my control," and put a caption, "stay happy," which clearly defines his disappointment over missing the bus for Australia. 

The bowling all-rounder managed to take only four wickets in six matches in the 2021 World Cup for Pakistan and was later dropped from the national team. He hasn't featured for Pakistan in any format since then and is unlikely to make his return in near future. Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, and Usman Qadir are in good form lately and all are included in T20 World Cup squad.

No justification has been provided to me: Imad Wasim 

This is not the first time Imad has hinted at his disappointment toward PCB. Earlier this year he stated that he was disappointed with the board for not providing any justification for his exclusion from the squad. 

"I have not played a single match since the World Cup. I don't know the reason behind this, to be honest. No justification has been provided to me and reasons given to me, I am unsatisfied with them. But whatever happens, happens because it is Almighty's will," Imad Wasim said in an interview with Cricket Pakistan earlier this year.

Wasim has taken 55 wickets in 58 T20I matches at an average of 23.49 and an economy rate of 6.33. He is having a great Caribbean Premier League 2022 season with Jamaica Tallawahs with 10 wickets in just seven matches so far. He took three wickets while conceding only 14 runs against Barbados Royals in the last match on Thursday and won the Player of the Match award as well.
