[VIDEO] Imad Wasim's knees and impact on running

[Savak]

I need people to carefully observe his running b/w the wickets in the first and last T-20. I have heard for many years that he has a severe knee problem due to which he is not able to train intensively which has resulted in his weight fluctuations. When you watch him bat, just observe his foot work, it is totally non existent and he plays from the crease. You should even observe his running b/w the wickets, if he has to run quick one's and two's he will struggle badly. Today's run out had nothing to do with laziness, the guy struggles very badly when he is pressed run quick two's and three's and it is because of his knee.

So far he is delivering for Pakistan with the ball but he has done nothing with the bat for ages and his running in the outfield and amongst the wickets leaves a lot to be desired. I wonder how long will the PCB persist with him given his knees.

He's a liability in the:
. Field
. Batting
. Bowling.

 

[shamaan]

He may have knee Issues but the effort in his running is due to laziness and poor fitness levels

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

He is a political player which explains him always being in the fold

His batting is below par and I cant accept that there is not a better limited overs spinner than him in Pakistan

When you have thighs and a backside sticking out like a broiler chicken what do you expect , these players can't even get themselves in shape or control their diets .

It does *seem* like he's either had an issue in the knees or his lower back in the past. His running form (knees always bent and leaning back) reminds me of what a friend of mine found comfortable running in when he returned from a bulging disc injury. It could probably be just a coincidence, but there is slight a similarity/pattern.

I also think Shadab (groin) and Maqsood (upper-back/neck) aren't fully recovered from their injuries. Shadab was lively in the field, but he winced quite often whenever making a dive. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious.

could also be down to his extra curricular 20 a day habits.

 

[ElRaja]

just a lack of professionalism from top to bottom, its obvioous he is way below his physical peak, and he has good bowling stats so he doesnt bother with fitness.

someone like him, his height, build, etc, would be an excellent athlete (for bowling spin and being a big hitter) if they put in the effort. but its obvious he doesnt need to because he got recalled after getting dropped having made no changes to anything.

He gained weight from the last time I saw him, players after getting fame doenst seem to be in good shape nowadays. Everyone needs to take lessons from Virat Kohli.
