ISLAMABAD: Ace off-spinner Saeed Ajmal still has hopes to make a comeback to the national team as he has something to offer for his country.
Ajmal said he is looking forward to playing once again in the upcoming domestic cricket season in Pakistan.
"I am ready to take on the challenge of regaining my place in the Pakistan team. I am confident that I can perform well again in domestic cricket in Pakistan and make a comeback for my country and prove my critics wrong," Pakispassion.net quoted him as saying.
Ajmal said it would be great to play for Pakistan again as international cricket is the pinnacle for any cricketer. "I feel that I am not a spent force when it comes to international cricket and as a bowler I still have something to offer my country," he said.
Speaking about his intentions to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Ajmal said he is looking forward to playing in the PSL which is an exciting venture and one that we are all looking forward to.
"There are a number of T20 leagues around the world and it is great news that the Pakistan Cricket Board is launching the PSL.
As well as the PSL I am available to play in leagues around the world and I am in talks with one of the franchises in the Bangladesh Premier League also," he said. Talking about his contract with Worcestershire, Ajmal said there was no sacking or early termination of his contract as was reported. "My contract with Worcestershire is until September 4 as I will be leaving for Hajj the day after I return to Pakistan next week," he said.
Ajmal said Worcestershire had wanted him to play for them for the whole season but he had decided and agreed with Worcestershire prior to signing the contract this season that he wouldn't be able to play the whole season and would return to Pakistan prior to the end of the season.
