DALLAS: Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has been ruled out of the Green Shirts’ opening match against the United States of America (USA) in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
Pakistan and USA are scheduled to square off in the 11th match of the T20 World Cup on June 6 (tomorrow) at Grand Prairie Stadium.
The left-handed all-rounded is suffering from a side injury, due to which he also missed the fourth T20i against England in the recently concluded series.

“Imad Wasim is suffering from a side strain, which means he won’t be able to play in our opening match,” said Azam.
The skipper shared that the medical panel has advised against playing Wasim as a precaution so he can be available for the remaining matches in the mega event.
Following the USA clash, the Green Shirts will face arch-rivals India in a blockbuster clash on June 9 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
The 2009 champions will then take on Canada on June 11 before locking horns with Ireland in their last group-stage fixture on June 16.
