5 Pakistani talents who could go on to become superstars

#4 Imad Wasim

Imad Wasim could play an important role after Yasir Shah’s exit

The Wales-born Pakistani all-rounder has made a name for himself as a quality containing spinner and lower order batsman. Wasim made his debut in May 2015 in limited overs cricket and quickly made himself a valuable asset for the team.

His tight lines and subtle tricks made him a handy spinner in the shorter formats. He has wafted along with the tail enders on more than a few occasions with the bat. Wasim averages 44.83 after 24 matches with three half-centuries to his name. He also has 19 wickets including a five-wicket haul. His economy rate of 4.58 has been the notable part of his International career so far.

Given that Yasir Shah is in his late 30s, Pakistan need a quality spinner as back up. Wasim is the right candidate to fill in that slot. A more than decent ability with the bat underlines his importance in the setup.
