Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim expressed his disappointment after the team’s shocking exit from the T20 World Cup in the group stage. However, Imad suggested that the team’s disappointing show could be a blessing in disguise as it will give the players a chance to do some soul searching and figure out what needs to be done to avoid this capitulation in the future.
Imad, alongside veteran pacer Mohammad Amir, was recalled to the side for the tournament on the back of their performances in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). In a post-match press conference, Imad shared his views on the harsh criticism of wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan’s fitness, stating that he has always focused on cricket analysis and has not targeted individuals. He emphasized the importance of analyzing cricket performance without resorting to personal attacks.
Imad acknowledged that setbacks are part of the game and emphasized the importance of how players react after a fall. He explained that setbacks are an opportunity for growth and learning. The team should take this experience as an opportunity to reflect on their mistakes and come up with strategies to avoid them in future matches.
Imad concluded by urging fans not to forget the human element while scrutinizing the team’s performance, acknowledging that mistakes were made but reminding everyone that players are also human and feel sadness over disappointing results. The players need our support now more than ever, especially after such a devastating loss. We should focus on supporting them through their struggles rather than criticizing them further.
