Shadab Khan hopes Imad Wasim will repeat last year's form in PSL

Islamabad United's captain, Shadab Khan, expressed his confidence in Imad Wasim’s ability to replicate his impressive performances from previous seasons as the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) approaches. Imad Wasim’s remarkable performance in the final last season, where he took five wickets against Multan Sultans, continues to be a benchmark for his contribution to the team.

In an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, Shadab Khan praised Imad Wasim, highlighting his experience and all-round abilities. 

"He is an experienced player and a great all-rounder," Shadab said. 

"However, this is a team game, and no single player can be relied upon. We saw that in the last tournament as well. Imad Wasim delivered excellent bowling performances in the last 2-3 matches, and we are happy that he is in good form. We hope he continues that form this year and helps the team achieve success," he added. 

The 10th edition of the PSL will begin on Friday, April 11, with defending champions Islamabad United taking on two-time winners Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The tournament will feature six teams and a total of 34 matches from April 11 to May 18. Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium will host 13 matches, including the two Eliminators and the grand final. Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will host 11 matches, including the first Qualifier on May 13. Karachi’s National Bank Stadium and Multan Cricket Stadium will each host five matches.

Additionally, the tournament will feature three double-headers, with two scheduled for Saturdays and one on Labour Day (May 1).
