Representing Pakistan on the world stage has been the greatest honor of my life, and every moment wearing the green jersey has been unforgettable,&#8221; he said in a post on X. \u201cYour unwavering support, love, and passion have always been my biggest strength.

More than a year ago in November 2023, Imad had announced retirement from the game only to return to the national squad later for the T20I World Cup 2024. The seasoned cricketer on March 23 declared his availability for the national Twenty20 cricket, saying that he had reconsidered his retirement plans after a meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials. &#8220;I am happy to announce that pursuant to meeting PCB officials, I have reconsidered my retirement and am delighted to declare my availability for Pakistan cricket in T20I format leading up to ICC T20i World Cup 2024,&#8221; he had written on X.

He took 117 wickets and scored 1,540 runs in his international career. Imad has been a key member of the Pakistan team over the years and was part of the 2017 Champions Trophy-winning squad. He also played in the 2016 T20 World Cup, 2019 World Cup, 2021 T20I World Cup and 2024 T20I World Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- While vowing to continue his domestic and franchise cricket, all-rounder Imad Wasim on Friday announced retirement from international cricket.
