Babar Azam, Imad Wasim's heated argument at nets sparks tension in Pakistan camp ahead of T20 World Cup

Hindustan Times  

Just days after veteran Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim clarified that all his good between him and "good friend" Babar Azam, contrary to the long-standing rumour in the media, the two were spotted having a heated argument during Pakistan's preparation for the upcoming series against Ireland and England. Earlier last week, Imad, who reversed his retirement decision to make himself available for the T20 World Cup selection, quashed rumours of a rift between him, fast bowler Mohammad Amir and captain Babar. We fully support our captain and want to win the T20 World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Babar Azam," Imad had said. "You never know that Babar Azam is re-appointed as captain of Pakistan to win T20 World Cup 2024." Pakistan will begin their T20 World Cup campaign on June 6 against co-hosts USA in New York before taking on arch-rivals India at the same venue on June 9.
