The cricketer said he is happy he is still playing cricket worldwide. Imad Wasim is actively taking part in the cricket leagues across the world. He is currently playing in the UAE T20 league.
Imad Wasim, who last played for Pakistan in the T20 series against New Zealand in 2023, surprisingly announced his retirement, catching many off guard. He began his international journey in May 2015 against Zimbabwe and went on to represent Pakistan in 55 ODIs and 66 T20Is.
