Imad Wasim caught smoking in dressing room during PSL final: Reports
However, shortly after his remarkable performance on the field, Wasim stirred up a controversy when he was seen smoking in the team's dressing room during the match.
As the fixing-tainted T20 league, the Pakistan Super League (PSL), is set to make a return in 2018, former Pakistan bowling great Waqar Younis claimed that the spot-fixing still exists much at all levels and tarnishing the image of Pakistani cricket.
“The roots of fixing are very deep. It still exists at all levels so we need to have joint and concerted efforts to eradicate this menace,” Younis said during the Islamabad United’s press conference.
The 45-year-old fast bowler, who earlier coached Pakistan national side, is associated with Islamabad United for the third edition. Younis asserted that he would have a close look over young cricketers regarding spot-fixing.

“My prime task will be to guide the players on and off the field and tell them how to avoid this malpractice as this can easily derail a good career,” he said.
Islamabad United won the inaugural edition of the cash-rich league in 2016, followed by Peshawar Zalmi’s title win in 2017.
The third season will start on February 23 with Dubai hosting a glittering opening ceremony.
