Wasim was born into a Pashtun family of the Wazir tribe that resides in North Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where he began to play tape ball cricket.

He was part of Pakistan's squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, replacing Naseem Shah who couldn't play for the U19 squad as he made his international debut.[6]
