T20 World Cup 2021: Predicting Pakistan's squad for the tournament
Pakistan is a team full of talents, but who will play and who will miss the flight to UAE? Here is their predicted squad for the T20 World Cup.
8. Imad Wasim
Imad Wasim has had a start-stop career mostly because of lack of wickets for Pakistan in ODI cricket. His numbers with the bat are super impressive when you put into perspective what other No. 7 batters around the globe are doing. Though, in T20Is, he hasn’t got a lot of opportunities to bat, his strike rate is above 145, which is a huge plus for him.
Despite underwhelming numbers with the ball in 50-over cricket, his numbers in the shortest format are credible enough. This is probably why Pakistan have stuck with him in the T20Is more than any other format. Wasim has played 52 games and picked up 51 wickets. What is more impressive is his economy of 6.40 in the T20 format.
This makes him a prized asset and with the ability to bowl in the powerplay as well, he has truly multi-dimensional skills. At 32, he also has a lot of experience of playing the format. He has played in overseas leagues as well. And in 2020, he led Karachi Kings to a PSL title. On the field, he could be a good tactical advisor to Babar Azam.
