I Don’t Want to Become Captain: Saeed Ajmal
Lahore: Cricketer Saeed Ajmal is not willing to become next candidate for Pakistani Cricket Team Captain. Right-arm off-break seriously opposed to get this position in futures. This is actually astonishingly argument from 35 years of age Ajmal because almost every player wants to get this rank. There are chances that Misbah will soon retire from test Cricket and Hafeez is powerful testee for this.
In a latest statement, Saeed Ajmal told media that there's no respect for captains in Asian countries. He also said that he enjoy playing cricket and don’t want to become captain of team. There is no question on Ajmal’s argument as most past Pakistani captains experienced criticism simply because of bad performance of whole team. Saeed Ajmal debuted ODI career in 2008 and proved himself as best spinner for all kinds of cricket but he is avoiding himself for captainship.
Saeed Ajmal also warned West Indian Opener Chris Gayle for upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Ajmal said that he will give difficult time to Gayle. It’s pertinent to mention here that Pakistan will play its first Match of championship versus West Indies on June 7, 2013.
