Watch: "He keeps faking injury" — Former chief selector Muhammad Wasim drops bombshell on Imam-ul-Haq

The former chief selector of the Pakistan side, Muhammad Wasim, has dropped a bombshell on their left-handed opening batter, Imam-ul-Haq, for faking an injury in the past, recalling an old story from the second Test against England, played at Lord’s on August 29. 

Imam didn’t bat in their first innings when they were folded up for just 110 runs in 37.2 overs. It was the third consecutive time in the series that the visitors struggled with the bat, despite Babar Azam’s presence.

Ex-chief selector claims Imam-ul-Haq's physio warned him before the 2022 Multan Test "injury"

The former chief selector of the Pakistan side revealed that during the Multan Test in 2022, their team physio warned him that he would go and feign an injury, which pushed the management to use the batter at number six or lower down the batting order.

“In the 2022 Multan Test, the physio warned me that he was going to feign an injury soon. And he did that. There was another player who did that, but I am not going to name him because he is currently part of the side.” Wasim revealed this in a video.
