“I made a name for myself while playing for Pakistan and if my country needs me, I will be available. If not, I have no issues with that,” Wasim shared with local media.“Shaheen called me after I retired but I told him that we will talk after PSL,” he further added. Imad, who last played for Pakistan in May 2023, announced his retirement from international cricket in November of the previous year. In the meantime, in the Eliminator against Quetta Gladiators on Friday, Islamabad United’s Imad was awarded the Player of the Match after achieving impressive figures of 3-12 in four overs. Saud Shakeel, Rilee Rossouw, and Khawaja Nafay were among the players dismissed by Imad. “I think what we saw in the last few games, it was spinning, holding a bit, the thing I did well was to bowl really slow, it was gripping and it went well,” Imad commented at the post-match ceremony. “I tried to bowl more slow balls than arm balls and mixed it up…worked for me…we restricted them and took wickets which is the best thing, if you do one of these right, you will win because powerplay is very important,” he added. It’s important to note that Islamabad United beat Quetta Gladiators by 39 runs. This victory led United to the second Eliminator where they will face Babar Azam’s Peshawar Zalmi tomorrow at the same venue.The Gladiators struggled during their chase of 175 runs, falling short by 39 runs. Islamabad’s bowlers dominated the game from the start, preventing the Gladiators from making a comeback. In their chase, Quetta faced several setbacks at the beginning of their innings, losing five wickets for just 16 runs in the first five overs. Imad took three wickets, Naseem claimed two, and Obey McCoy, Hunain Shah, and Faheem Ashraf each took one wicket.Martin Guptill was the top scorer for the two-time PSL winners, scoring 56 runs off 47 balls, including six boundaries. He was followed by Salman Ali Agha, who added 31 runs off 21 balls.
