ISLAMABAD (AP) - Pakistan offspinner Saeed Ajmal says the only differences between national coach Dav Whatmore and his two Pakistani predecessors are the salary package and the language barrier.

Ajmal told media that former Pakistan internationals Waqar Younis and Mohsin Khan had handled the players very well during their coaching stints, while Whatmore an Australian who has coached the Sri Lanka and Bangladesh national teams "doesn t have knowhow of our language."

He adds: "It s just the difference of money which we are giving to (foreign coaches), otherwise there s no difference."

Ajmal s critcism comes less than two weeks before Pakistan s test series against South Africa starts in the United Arab Emirates.

He says senior players should be consulted by the Pakistan Cricket Board before coaches are hired.
