Following his recent announcement of his retirement from international cricket, Imad Wasim will play for the Melbourne Stars in the next Big Bash League (BBL). After Christmas, he will join the team for the tournament’s remaining games.
Imad Wasim brings a wealth of experience to the table, having played 121 T20 and ODI matches for Pakistan. His valuable lower-order batting skills complement his proficient left-arm orthodox bowling. In addition, he is one of the few spinners in the game of cricket who has the uncommon ability to bowl with the new ball during a power play.
We saw that Imad could contribute with his left-arm spin and extend our batting lineup, especially because Liam was healthy for the first three games. According to melbournestars.com.au, Melbourne Stars general manager Blair Crouch said, “Imad will be joining his former national teammates Usama Mir and Haris Rauf at the MCG, and I’m particularly looking forward to seeing thousands of Pakistan fans there.
