Here is what his fans had to say.

Imad Wasim led Pakistan U-19 to world cup final, he’s #1 ranked T20I bowler & VC of Pak T20 team, a sensible choice by Karachi Kings.

Since Shahid Afridi refused to captain the side it's a good call from #KarachiKings to let Imad Wasim lead the team. #PSL3

I must felicitate Karachi Kong’s for appointing Imad Wasim as captain. At least local players are being patronized & being given chances to prove their skills. All the best Imad. He seems to have in him the confidence & attitude.

Karachi Kings have announced Imad Wasim as their new captain. We wont be making any meme on this, as this is itself a meme. Peace.

Only time will tell whether Imad Wasim will really be to call the shots especially, with Shahid Afridi, Rashid Latif and Mickey Arthur all present in one dressing room.
