Former Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim achieved another feat in the cricket history by completing 1,000 runs and taking 50 wickets in a calendar year in T20s.
The 35-year-old added a new item to the list of his sporting achievements while debuting for Mel-bourne Stars in Big Bash League (BBL) Season 13 today.
He completed his 1,000 runs in T20 cricket after scoring 14 runs in ten balls and became the fourth cricketer to set the record after Kieron Pollard (2010), Azhar Mahmood (2012) and Andre Russell (2016).
The all-rounder announced his retirement from international cricket, ending his over eight-year-long association with the national side last month.
In his X, formerly Twitter, the 34-year-old stressed that it was the right time to end his stint as an international cricketer. “In recent days I have been doing a lot of thinking about my international career and I have come to the conclusion that now it’s the right time for me to announce my retirement from international cricket.”—Agencies
