The lack of a match-defining all-rounder has hurt Pakistan for quite a few years now. Ever since Abdul Razzak left the scene, the side has tried many all-rounders, but to no avail. Finally, in the form of Imad Wasim, the number 8 ranked ODI outfit has a promising all rounder who can step up to the big occasion. In 21 ODIs, Wasim has already taken 24 wickets and scored 3 half-centuries at an average of 42.33, thereby showing his skills. Against South Africa and Sri Lanka, if Pakistan is to do well, Wasim will be the side’s trump card. Batting at number 7, his runs lower down the order could dictate the momentum of the game.
