'He keeps faking injuries': Ex-Pak chief selector's allegation against Imam

Former Pakistan chief selector Mohammad Wasim accused cricket opener Imam-ul-Haq of faking injuries in the past, claiming he was warned about such behavior before an incident in 2022. Imam recently suffered a left calf strain during the first day of the Lord’s Test against England, leading to his exclusion from the rest of the match. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the injury as a low-grade calf strain and stated Imam is undergoing treatment. His absence adds to Pakistan's struggles in the Test series, where England dominated both innings, building a significant lead. Wasim's allegations have intensified scrutiny around Imam's injury history, though the PCB has not commented further on the claims.
