Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has said that he is aiming to snatch England counterpart Graeme Swann’s World No one ODI bowler ranking. Swann currently holds the top spot with 728 points, while Ajmal is ranked seventh with 658 points. “He [Swann] is a good bowler. We both have our own qualities, he has his variations I have mine. We are different types of bowlers, but I want to be the number one bowler,” PakPassion quoted Ajmal as saying. The 33-year-old further denied concerns that the new International Cricket Council (ICC) rules, which will require two new balls to be used from each end in ODIs, could adversely affect spin bowlers. “The new ICC rulings will have very little effect on the way I bowl as I will simply get more bounce with the new ball – if anything, this could be beneficial to my bowling and aid my variations,” Ajmal said.
