In a recent event, Wasim Akram expressed worry about players who put other obligations—like playing T10 cricket—above competitions like the ongoing Pakistan Cup or the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
"The players who are busy with the Pakistan team are fine but what about others? A couple of them are sitting on television, and they want to play for Pakistan. How is that possible?" Akram remarked.
Imad did not hold back when asked for a response. In expressing his annoyance, the all-round player brought up his personal experience of being dropped for no apparent reason despite being the No.2-ranked player in the world at that point.
"When I was playing for the Pakistan team, I was the World No. 02 all-rounder in rankings, and without any reason, I was dropped. Please tell me what the guarantee is now that if I play domestic cricket, they will consider me. Secondly, whoever has pointed this out, I will call him myself if I ever need advice,” Imad said.
Imam went on to emphasize how flawless his performance was on the home circuit the season before, despite being disregarded.
"Two years ago, when I was asked to play domestic cricket, you can see my performance. But even then, I wasn't considered. So there’s no guarantee here," Imam added.
