Former selector Wasim alleges Imam-ul-Haq faked injury

Former Pakistan chief selector Mohammad Wasim claimed that batter Imam-ul-Haq has a history of faking injuries. Wasim cited an alleged incident during the December 2022 Test in Multan. Imam sustained a calf injury while fielding in the Lord's Test against England, and scans confirmed a low-grade strain.

The injury ruled Imam out of Pakistan's batting lineup for the remainder of the match. Pakistan's batting struggled throughout the series as England's pace attack dominated. The allegations have raised questions about injury verification processes within the Pakistan setup.

Wasim's comments have drawn attention to recurring patterns in Imam's injury record.
