The post has become a massive talking point in Pakistan cricket circles.

Social media influencer Naila Raja has already publicly denied the rumours. She termed it as 'baseless' and 'misleading.'
A few days back Sannia Ashfaq had posted a cryptic message on Instagram, announcing the birth of the couple's third child Zayan. Interestingly, there was no mention of Imad Wasim. The post was accompanied by a caption that read: 'I carried you alone in my womb for 9 months. May God give me more strength for the journey ahead, Zayan.'

In a video going viral on social media in March, Imad was seen criticising the national team and he said that he does not feel like watching the Pakistan team play anymore.
"You got to play cricket like it should be played at. This is not the right way. For me, if you ask me as a cricketer, not even as a Pakistani, as a cricketer, I watch some of the games of the Pakistan team play, and I feel I just don't want to watch it," Imad said.
"Look, the interest will lose eventually. People won't come and watch cricket if we play like this. You must have seen the crowd was full in the England-Australia match (February 22 in Lahore) and how they play cricket. I can understand the solution, what I am telling you. When you go somewhere, you assess the condition, and then you play. But your first instinct is to go out there and attack the opposition. And then, if you lose wickets, then you can assess the condition again, like this is 250, 260, 300 wickets, or whatever. So, your first instinct is just to go out there and attack, not to think like, okay, we scored 250. So, like, we are way behind where the world is," he added.
