With rumors of Imad Wasim returning to the national cricket team for the upcoming World Cup, the Karachi Kings captain has focused all his attention on the Pakistan Super League.
In the eighth edition of PSL, Karachi Kings will begin their journey by playing a match against Peshawar Zalmi at the National Stadium.
After Pakistan’s all-format captain Babar Azam left for Peshawar Zalmi, the Karachi Kings will field under the captaincy of Imad Wasim.
Imad feels that the first match will not be too exciting as Babar is in the other team and he is ‘living for today’.
Imad Wasim said that ‘at this time I am not worried about the World Cup’.
He further said that ‘at this time I am captaining Karachi Kings, my aim is to play good cricket and all my focus is on PSL.
Asked about watching Babar play in the opposition, Imad said, “Every game in PSL is exciting, we know he will be tough for us but we are ready for it.”
It should be noted that Karachi Kings won the PSL in 2020 but had a disastrous journey in the previous edition and were eliminated in the first stage.
However, Imad Wasim wants his team to play aggressive cricket.
He said that ‘I always believe in playing aggressive and positive cricket, we will first assess the pitch situation and then think how to play’.
“The way the game is, if you don’t take wickets in the middle overs or in the powerplay, the opposition will find a way but we will use a spinner or a quick bowler for that,” he added.
He said that we know that the condition of Karachi is favorable for the batsmen, so we will try to take wickets.
Mohammad Amir will remain the main bowling weapon of Karachi Kings but Imad Wasim is also looking to South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir for his team’s success, he said that Imran Tahir has always performed well in the PSL. .
The captain of Karachi Kings said that Haider Ali will also be prominent in this season.
“I have always trusted Haider, the main thing is to put him up in the playing order so that he can score, I have watched him closely and I believe this season will be his name,” he said. .
