Profile

This off-spinner made his International debut at an unusual age of 30, during the 2008 Asia Cup. He was included in the Pakistani squad in a crucial encounter against India in which he bowled 10 overs at an economy rate of 4.70. Ajmal picked up his first international wicket when he sent Yusuf Pathan home for a 'duck' in the same game. The veteran spinner would have been more than relieved when he finally received the 'big break' after being overlooked by the Pakistani selectors for over a decade through which he served the domestic circuit picking up over 230 first class wickets in 72 matches including fifteen 5-wicket hauls.
