Worcestershire v Sri Lankans - Saeed Ajmal keen to make an impact in the tour match – Cricket News Update
After suffering a humiliating 1-0 defeat in the Test series against England, Sri Lanka’s next challenge will be to perform better in the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series and redeem their respect.
For that purpose, the islanders are sharpening their teeth in today’s warm-up game against Worcestershire. On the other hand, the Pakistani off-spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859, who is representing Worcestershire in the English domestic cricket, aimed to make an impact
in the game, taking place at Worcester, today, June 22, 2011.
The attacking off-spinner stated that he will look to replicate the performance that he demonstrated in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s recent tour to West Indies.
The 33-year-old off-spinner emerged as the highest wicket-taker in the Test series against the Windies, claiming 17 wickets in two matches including 11 dismissals in the first Test. He continued the good work in the two-match ODI series in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 where
he grabbed seven wickets.
The right-arm bowler has played 11 Tests and 45 ODIs, holding more than 100 international wickets under his belt.
Ajmal reached http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808.
“I will play against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 and that is my aim here —
to be the best bowler,” said Ajmal.
When asked about the conditions in England, the seasoned off-spinner added, “I have experience of playing in England. I was here last year in the Test matches and also played league for eight years. I will be doing my best for Worcestershire.”
He also commented that he always loves to play in England since the English tracks hold pace and bounce. The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866 side is currently lying at the fourth position in the North Group’s points table and Ajmal not only intended to do well today but
also play a pivotal role in his team’s victory in the ongoing Twenty20 championship.
