• Whoever performs in the PSL, it gets easier for them in international cricket: Imad.

Imad Wasim praised Ihsanullah after the Karachi Kings captain was overheard using an abusive term for the Multan Sultans pacer in the final game of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight on Sunday.

The all-rounder explained the importance of PSL for younger players who want to showcase their talent and make a case for national selection during a press conference on Tuesday in Islamabad.

“PSL is the biggest platform for youngsters. It is watched by everyone in the world. Young players get noticed because PSL is the toughest league in the world. Whoever performs in the PSL, it gets easier for them in international cricket,” Imad said.

“After every season of PSL, a player gets noticed and goes on to represent Pakistan. Right now, Ihsanullah from Multan is bowling really well. These things get noticed and a player can change his life through PSL and it also ultimately benefits Pakistan,” he added.

During the aforementioned game, which Karachi won by 66 runs, Imad can be heard in the background instructing Akif Javed not to bowl a full length delivery to Ihsanullah and instead only bowl bouncers to him in the 16th over. Imad can be heard using an obscene term while passing these instructions.

Imad immediately placed a leg slip for Ihsanullah, who eventually survived Akif’s three balls and remained not out on zero as his team was bowled out for 101 runs in the next over.

The lanky pacer, who is the tournament’s leading wicket taker (14) has been a thorn in Karachi Kings’ side, bowling economical spells against them in the last two games.
