Bangladesh batsman Tamim Iqbal has said the offspinner Saeed Ajmal will be the biggest threat to Bangladesh when Pakistan tour there.
Ajmal is the joint-leading wicket-taker in Tests this year, with 41 from 6 matches at an average of 23.41, and also features in the top ten wicket-takers in ODIs this year.
Tamim recognised Ajmal was in form and said the Bangladesh batsmen would have to watch his variations carefully. “I’ve only faced him [Ajmal] for one delivery and that was in county cricket when I was playing for Nottinghamshire and he was representing Worcestershire,” he told Pakpassion.net. “I scored a single and was happy to be at the other end. He’s a very good bowler and is in great form at the moment. It is going to be a real challenge to face the Pakistan bowlers in the upcoming series, especially Saeed Ajmal.
