Imad Wasim reflects on his T20 World Cup 2024 knock against India

Former Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has discussed his innings of 15 runs off 23 balls in the narrow defeat to arch-rivals India during the T20 World Cup 2024 in New York.

In that match, India set a target of 120 runs on a challenging pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.

Although Pakistan began their chase well, they ultimately fell short, losing by six runs. Imad came in to bat when Pakistan was at 73 for 3 in 12.2 overs, needing 47 more runs from 46 balls.

He explained that the plan was to take the run chase deeper, but he found it difficult to execute that strategy effectively.

Despite a relatively modest target of 120 runs, the Pakistani batting lineup faced 59 dot balls, finishing with a score of 113 for 7.

In a recent interview, Imad Wasim reflected on the criticism he faced after his performance.

“When I scored 15 runs off 23 balls against India, the criticism I received made me feel as though I hadn’t achieved anything in my life. I did my best and sincerely apologized to the team and management,” he said.

It’s important to note that Imad Wasim previously announced his retirement from international cricket but continues to play in domestic leagues and franchise cricket.

He shared his decision on X (formerly Twitter), mentioning that it came after considerable thought.

“To all fans and supporters: After much thought and reflection, I have decided to retire from international cricket.”

“Representing Pakistan on the world stage has been the greatest honor of my life, and every moment wearing the green jersey has been unforgettable,” said Imad Wasim.
