But I told you, like, the decision I took, I was 100% in it and at the end it was my decision. But you never know when Pakistan needs you, you have to do something about it,&#8221; Imad Wasim said.<\/p>\n<p>The left-hand batter emphasized the importance of clarity in his role within the team, not necessarily as a skipper but as a senior player.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also desires responsibility that extends beyond just playing; he seeks a leadership role that involves shaping the team&#8217;s direction and strategy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The thing is what I want to know, it&#8217;s about the clarity. It&#8217;s about giving me responsibility, not as a captain but as a senior player, giving me responsibility to take the team where I want to take or where the group of senior players want to take,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I want Pakistan to play the right cricket, right combination, right type of cricket, right style of cricket, and that&#8217;s about it,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The 35-year-old made it clear that there&#8217;s nothing inherently wrong with taking retirement and acknowledged that players may go through phases where they are not mentally present.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing wrong in taking retirements and there&#8217;s nothing wrong in being mentally not there. So, yeah, I&#8217;m really happy and I&#8217;m still happy. I&#8217;m playing cricket all over the world. I was playing before that as well. But, yeah, hopefully something good comes up soon,&#8221; Imad concluded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sd-bottom-social ss-icon\">\n<p class=\"ss-share-now\"> Share Now <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/cricketpakistan.com.pk\/en\/news\/detail\/imad-wasim-opens-up-about-return-to-international-cricket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<article><span><i class=\"fab fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/span><\/article>\n<p><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/cricketpakistan.com.pk\/en\/news\/detail\/imad-wasim-opens-up-about-return-to-international-cricket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between\">\n<span class=\"w-100\"><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#\"><\/p>\n<article><span><i class=\"fab fa-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/span><\/article>\n<p><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/cricketpakistan.com.pk\/en\/news\/detail\/imad-wasim-opens-up-about-return-to-international-cricket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<article><span><i class=\"fab fa-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/span><\/article>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12 px-0\" style=\"margin-bottom:2.3%;\">\n<div class=\"house_ad\" style=\"margin-top:10px!importan;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaDgqvHGzzKbrfJ9LS2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"text-align: center; margin:0 auto\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/c.express.pk\/2024\/01\/0-xde-1705662291.jpg\" alt=\"edtech\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n        var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n        js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n        js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.12&appId=340509153097398&autoLogAppEvents=1\";\n        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has suggested the potential reversal of his retirement from international cricket.
