Talking about an old incident, Shafiq said: “Once our team members decided that all the Sheikhs of our team will give us a dinner. So Saeed Ajmal and I, among two or three people are Sheikh. So we decide to give them a dinner. There’s this place in front of National Stadium Karachi and we went there. After the meal we saw that the bill was very high. So we four five Sheikhs went to Saeed bhai to ask him to divide the bill. He said that the bill has been cleared. I asked him how? He told us that I went to the counter and said that Pakistan team has come to your restaurant, will you charge us as well?”

“When England came to play with us in 2012 in Dubai, my manager told to me say something that will confuse them. So I said my ‘teesra’ is coming. Actually my third child was coming in this world,” Ajmal said while laughing and everyone else on the panel could not stop laughing.

The host then asked, “So this confused them?” Ajmal further added: “They were trying to find my teesra and I took 24 wickets in that Test match series. Nasir Hussain came to me asking, where’s teesra? I told him that it’s coming.”

He revealed this in a programme on Express News with former cricketers Yasir Hameed and Imran Nazir. A fan shared his video on Twitter and it went viral after his hilarous revealation.

Ajmal came under fire for his bowling action several times as a player, with it being reported on more than one occasion and even leading to a bowling ban.

In his 20th Test, Ajmal became the quickest Pakistani to take 100 Test wickets. He holds the record of leading wicket taker (85) in Twenty20 International cricket before Shahid Afridi broke this record (98).

On November 13, 2017, Ajmal announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Currently, he is an assistant coach of Pakistan Super League (PSL) team Islamabad United.

‘Made a mistake’: Amir should apologise to Harbhajan Singh, says Saeed Ajmal

Former Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal wants former Pakistan speedster Mohammad Amir to apologise to Harbhajan Singh for “jumping in” between Shoaib Akhtar and the Indian bowler’s Twitter conversation.

Speaking to Cricket Pakistan, Ajmal said that players should treat each other well because cricket brings people together.

“I think Amir made a mistake by jumping in that conversation [between Shoaib Akhtar and Harbhajan Singh] and he should apologise for it. It was a discussion between two great cricketers and Amir made the wrong choice by getting involved in it,” he said.

Amir and Singh indulged in a war of words a couple of days ago when the former taunted the latter after India beat Pakistan in the T20 World Cup match on October 24.

Harbhajan responded to Amir, and the two had a heated exchange, bringing everything into the mix from Amir’s spot-fixing controversy to Shahid Afridi smashing Harbhajan for four consecutive sixes in a 2006 Lahore Test match.

During the interview, Ajmal also spoke about the Pakistan cricket team’s performance so far in the World Cup, adding that he was pleasantly surprised by the energy and performance of the team.
