Pakistan vs World XI: 5 Pakistani players who will be keenly watched

#1 Imad Wasim

Imad Wasim is the best fielder on the Pakistan team

Another modern day all-rounder who does his bit with the bat, bowls some quality left-arm spin and is extremely agile and athletic in the outfield.

Imad Wasim is what Ravindra Jadeja is to India and Glenn Maxwell to Australia - an impact player. With Imad, a contribution either with his spin bowling or with some quick fire runs lower down the order is a guarantee.

With the likes of Babar Azam, Sarfraz Ahmed and Shoaib Malik in the middle-order, Imad's role will be that of a finisher. He would be expected to come in and score quickly and possibly finish games while chasing or get the extra 20-30 runs when setting a target.

With Hafeez not in the team and Shoaib Malik’s spin-bowling no longer a threat, Wasim will have to play the supporting role to Shadab in the spin bowling department.

Wasim’s biggest strength is his athletic fielding and fine catching ability. Part of a team whose fielding standards are very poor, he is an exception. And that undoubtedly would be the biggest strength he provides to this team, more than his bowling or batting abilities.
