Pakistan's key all-rounder likely to play crucial match against India

Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has made a successful recovery from a side strain injury and is set to play in the crucial match against India on Sunday in New York during the ongoing T20 World Cup.

Imad's injury, sustained during a training session, kept him out of the final T20i against England and also led to his precautionary rest during Pakistan's opening World Cup match against the United States on Thursday.

Despite these setbacks, Imad committed himself to an intensive recovery regimen, practising alongside his teammates. Team management has now confirmed that he is fully fit and ready for the high-stakes encounter against India.
