Imad Wasim Profile

Imad Wasim Profile

Syed Imad Wasim was born in Wales' second largest city Swansea, and made his First-Class debut at the age of 18 for Islamabad. He was a prominent member of the victorious Pakistani squad that won the Under-19 World Cup in 2006. His consistency and skill pushed the national selectors to hand him the reigns of Under 19 team. He did a commendable job by leading Pakistan to semifinals of the Under-19 World Cup in 2008. 

Post his under-19-career success, it took 7 more years for him to make his first appearance in the national side. He must count himself lucky as unlike some of his seniors, he got a chance to make his international debut on home soil (against Zimbabwe in a T20I). With Mohammad Hafeez''s ban ( for chucking) Wasim was offered an opportunity to try his luck in the ODI format. 

He impressed on his ODI debut against Sri Lanka by picking up 2 wickets and bowled an economical spell. Wasim's first ODI victim was Sri Lanka's highly rated, Dinesh Chandimal. In an recent TV interview (with a local Pakistani channel in August 2015) he confessed that he was not obsessed with emulating anyone and added that he was working hard to rectify his weaknesses. He idolizes Wasim Akram and had he not been a cricketer, he might have well found a living in the field of medicine.
