Plea from Latif comes on the heels of Pakistan’s disappointing World Cup 2023 campaign
In a surprising turn of events, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has called on spin-bowling all-rounder Imad Wasim to reverse his recent decision to retire from international cricket.
Imad, who bid farewell to his international career on Friday, November 24, is now being urged by Latif to reconsider, citing it as a significant loss for Pakistan cricket.
The plea from Latif comes on the heels of Pakistan’s disappointing World Cup 2023 campaign, during which Imad Wasim was notably absent from the squad despite the team’s struggle with a thin spin attack.
Taking to a social media platform, Latif made a heartfelt appeal to Imad, stating, “Imad Wasim should withdraw his retirement decision; Pakistan’s team is losing its best spin bowler. Imad can contribute significantly to both bowling and batting. In the World Cup, the absence of the team’s most effective player is not just a loss for Imad; it is a loss for Pakistan.”
