Wasim Junior is a Pakistani fast bowler who delivers the ball with his right arm. He first drew attention at the 2020 Under-19 World Cup, where he claimed five wickets in an innings against Scotland. That performance stood out all the more because he featured in just two matches during the tournament.

His rise to senior cricket was rapid. Pakistan handed him a Twenty20 International debut in 2021, and he was named in the national squad for the T20 World Cup that same year. His first appearances in Test and One Day International cricket followed in the following year, completing his entry into all three formats.
As a bowler, he relies on sharp pace and a knack for making the ball skid through after pitching, which can hurry batters. Even so, he has often found himself in the background behind more established members of the attack, including Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali.
Since his debut he has moved in and out of the starting eleven on a regular basis. Whether he can turn those opportunities into a settled role in the Pakistan side is a question his coming seasons will have to answer.
