Imad Wasim was born in Swansea, Imad's father briefly worked in the UK as an engineer. Wasim's parents moved to Pakistan when he was a small child, and he consequently played all first-class cricket there. Imad Wasim became the first Welsh-born cricketer to represent Pakistan. Imad Wasim was studying medicine before his career in cricket kickstarted.
Team Pakistan were criticised by fans and ex-cricketers throughout the World Cup, where they were particularly questioned about their fitness and commitment throughout the tournament. Pakistan also slumped to big defeat against arch-rivals India during the World Cup 2019.
Pakistan failed to qualify for the semi-finals, missing on the fourth spot by a narrow margin. Pakistan took on India in Manchester on June 16, 2019 and it was a one-sided affair. Pakistan slumped to a 92-run defeat after Rohit Sharma dominated the Pakistani bowlers to score a swashbuckling 140-run knock.
In the aftermath of the match, Sarfaraz Ahmed was mocked by the Pakistan fans for yawning while wicket-keeping. It went as far as a fan intercepting Sarfaraz Ahmed in a shopping mall and calling him a pig. Sarfaraz Ahmed kept his cool and walked away from the fan.
