Saeed Ajmal still in pursuit of national team comeback

Off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has still not given up the chance of being selected in the national team after strong performance in the on-going National T20 Cup.

On Thursday, after his team Karachi Blues beat Lahore Whites to book a place in the final courtesy Ajmal’s man-of-the-match performance (3-21 in four overs), the right-arm spinner tweeted his statistics of the tournament. He followed it up by saying that his performances prove that his ‘strong will and skills’ can help him make a comeback in the national team.
