“You’re number one,” PCB tells Ajmal
Saeed Ajmal will receive a special award from the Pakistan Cricket Board after the spin bowler was left off the shortlist for the International Cricket Council’s Player of the Year, chairman Zaka Ashraf said on Monday. The omission of the top- ranked one-day international bowler from the shortlist has caused anger in Pakistan and the team could boycott the ICC awards ceremony, due to take place in Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo on Sept. 15.
“Saeed Ajmal, we still say you’re the number one bowler in the world and the PCB recognises you, and whether someone gives you the prize, that is immaterial, we don’t care,” Ashraf told a function for the Pakistan squad, in Dubai to face Australia.
“We congratulate you and when you come back home (after the World Twenty20) we will give you a prize for being the number one bowler in the world.”
