Pakistan right-arm offbreak bowler Saeed Ajmal who was serving a ban from International Cricket Council (ICC) wishes to return to international cricket.

Ajmal was banned since September 2014 owing to a suspect bowling action. Now, having remodelled his bowling action and having played for Worcestershire in English county cricket he wants to come back home and convince the selectors to pick him for upcoming series’. His contract with Worcestershire will end on September 4. READ: Saeed Ajmal to play Pakistan National T20 Championship in bid to earn international recall
In a conversation with Sky Sports Ajmal said, “I’m confident that I can make a comeback for my country [Pakistan] and prove my critics wrong. I feel that I’m not a spent force when it comes to international cricket and as a bowler I still have something to offer my country. Worcestershire had wanted me to play for them for the whole season but I had decided and agreed with Worcestershire prior to signing the contract this season that I wouldn’t be able to play the whole season and would return to Pakistan prior to the end of the season.” Ajmal will take part in the National T20 Championship in September in Pakistan to allow selectors to pick him up for future tours including the next tour to UAE.
