Yes, he should be encouraged with all national awards since AICC ( Apartheid ICC) will continue to ignore him for being Pakistani.
This team has the potential to excel. Let's hope they stay focused.
"while Misbahul Haq is expected to get best captain of the year award." Umm... ?!
@salaar:
He is a bowler salaar not a bowling god seriously. Every bowler has been smacked at various occasions by the opposition. After all the opposing party is there to play too :)
Ajmals is number one bowler in the world, but sometimes he become over-confident and get hit for 6's by the likes of Hussey and Yuvraj.
