Dallas. All-rounder Imad Wasim will not be able to play in Pakistan’s first T20 World Cup match against the US here on Thursday due to a muscle strain. Captain Babar Azam gave this information. Babar said that Wasim has not fully recovered from the muscle strain and the left-arm spinner’s progress is being monitored. Babar told the media here, “The medical staff is keeping an eye on him and he will be available for the remaining matches of the World Cup.” Keeping the World Cup in mind, this experienced T20 specialist player was brought back from retirement.
The selectors believe that his style of bowling will suit the slow nature of pitches in America and West Indies. Apart from Wasim, left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Aamir has also been selected in Pakistan’s team for the T20 World Cup, but he was used with great caution for the series against New Zealand, Ireland and England before this tournament.
Babar said, “They (pitches) look good for fast bowlers and we have a very good fast bowling attack so the pitches are good for us.” Babar stressed that he has no problem with the facilities being provided to the team in America.
