Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The list of accolades for the wily southpaw is a long one. He was a long term skipper for Pakistan at the age group levels. He has also led Islamabad for a decent period of time. And when his T20I debut happened, the backdrop was historic. Cricket had returned to Pakistan after 6 years and Imad Wasim got a T20I cap in the second game of the series. Pakistan won that close encounter and the series 2-0.
His exploits in league cricket playing in England and Ireland have also helped him sharpen up his skills. When Pakistan lost Hafeez and Ajmal to suspect bowling actions, it was Wasim who finally got a chance to represent Pakistan. He also managed to debut in the ODIs in 2015 and was also a part of the 2016 T20 World Cup side.
With the ability to bowl a sort of an in-slider with the new ball to right-handers, Wasim provides Pakistan with a very handy option to start off the bowling attack, before coming back in the middle stages to strangulate the run-rate with his tight nagging lines. For someone who doesn't really turn the ball a lot, he relies on accuracy and variation in pace to be successful.
In 2016, he became the first Pakistani to grab a five-wicket haul in a T20I, when he achieved the feat against West Indies in Dubai. In a historic 2017 Champions Trophy campaign, where Pakistan defied all odds to to lift the trophy, he played a vital role, chipping in with useful hands with both bat and ball. He followed it up with an impressive CPL, playing for the Jamaica Tallahwahs. The year was made all the more special when the PCB conferred him with the T20 Player of the Year.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Imad Wasim had been set to study medicine but the offer to play for the Pakistan Under-19 made him change his mind and since then there has been no looking back. Like many aspiring players from his country, he wanted to emulate Wasim Akram but he didn't have the pace his coaches were looking for. Still, the switch to left-arm spin has worked for him. A capable middle-order batsman as well, he was part of the Pakistan side that won the Youth World Cup in 2006, before captaining them in the next edition.
It wasn't until 2015, when the senior team were searching for a replacement for the suspended Saeed Ajmal, that Imad got his shot at international cricket. He spent the intervening period playing league cricket in England and Ireland, which he said was instrumental to his development. Adding to his connection to the UK, Imad was born in Swansea.
Also a factor in his rise up the ranks was his first-class experience - he struck a half-century for Islamabad on debut in 2007, took an eight-for in 2013 and clattered a maiden double-hundred in 2014. Imad made his T20I debut when cricket returned to Pakistan six years after the Lahore attack in 2009, and represented his country in the World T20 that followed in 2016.
