Wassan came through the Delhi cricket system, which during the 1980s and 1990s produced several India internationals. He established himself in the Delhi Ranji Trophy side as a new-ball bowler, earning a place in the national set-up on the strength of his domestic performances.
Wassan was a regular member of the Delhi Ranji Trophy team, contributing as a seam bowler in the strong Delhi line-ups of his era. He played first-class cricket over several seasons in the late 1980s and 1990s.
He made his Test and One Day International debuts for India in the early 1990s. His international appearances were limited, coming in a period when India fielded a number of seam-bowling options alongside Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar.
Following his playing career, Wassan moved into broadcasting and has appeared as a commentator and cricket analyst on Indian sports television and news channels, providing expert analysis on domestic and international cricket.
Wassan is associated with the generation of Delhi pace bowlers of his era and is remembered as part of India's transitional bowling line-up of the early 1990s. His subsequent work in the media has kept him a recognisable voice in Indian cricket commentary.
