'Ajmal - The Magician' joins Dunya TV for world cup 2015
The spin maestro may not be able to play world cup, he will surely be with us during the mega event
LAHORE: (Web Desk) –Saeed Ajmal may have been banned from bowling due to his arm-action but Pakistani fans can surely catch up with him during the World Cup 2015 as the ‘spin-doctor’ will be live during all the matches at Dunya News throughout the mega event.
Saeed Ajmal’s bowling action was declared illegal by the ICC on account of his overly skewed arm action. Although ‘the magician’ is hopeful of getting his action cleared from the international cricket body after he took the test again in Chennai last week yet he has made it clear that he will not be taking part in the world cup as a player.
He will be joining the world cup anyways; if not as a player, then as a commentator. Dunya TV has decided to cover the World cup 2015 extensively for its viewers in light of the love that the Pakistanis have for the game. To keep our viewers updated with every happening throughout the event and bringing them the best of cricketing insights, Pakistan’s favorite channel has joined hands with none other than legendary Saeed Ajmal.
Ajmal has been a lucky charm for Pakistan ever since he has joined the national team. He was part of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad in 2009 when Pakistan, under Younis Khan’s leadership, won the world cup.
With 183 wickets under his belt in just 111 One Day Internationals (ODI) that he has played, Ajmal is not someone who wouldn’t be missed in the side. However, his experience can surely be made use of and fans and experts will be able to learn from the great spinner through his comments on every match of the world cup being played in Australia and New Zealand, starting this coming Valentine’s Day.
Winning dozens of games for Pakistan, Saeed Ajmal has certainly been an integral part of the national side for last several years. Though he will not be able to play the world cup for Pakistan this time, his comments will surely help the national team to overcome their mistakes and he may well be able to give some tips to the other spinners that have joined the team in his stead. After all, Saeed Ajmal had taken Sachin Tendulkar s wicket in the 2011 World Cup semi-final.
