Although the performance was not too bad, Imad Wasim was out of the national team for almost a year and a half. Therefore, this Pakistani all-rounder has threatened to take appropriate action if he is dropped from the team without a valid reason. Imad was regular in T20 World Cup in 2021. He did not perform very well in the World Cup held in Oman, but he did not have a bad performance either. Since then he was dropped from the team. Although he was with the team on the Bangladesh tour, he did not get a chance in the XI. And then Pak, the all-rounder, was left out of the limited-overs series against West Indies and Australia. He was not called to the team for the last Twenty20 World Cup. After a long wait, Imad finally got a call-up for the T20 series against Afghanistan in March. However, Pakistan lost the series 2-1 against the Afghans. But Imad Wasim did not play badly in that series. Due to this, he got a call for the series against New Zealand.

Imad Wasim told a local Pakistani TV channel, “They (selectors) never told me the reason for keeping me out of the national team for the last one and a half years. I will not let this happen again. If something like that happens this time, I will take important steps. He also said, ‘I am at such a stage in my career that if I am dropped again without any reason, I will have to take some action.’Even though he was out of the national team, he was financially more profitable. Imad said, “I didn’t have any financial problems while I was out of the national team. On the contrary, I earned 10 times more than what I used to earn playing for Pakistan.
