The humiliating exit of Pakistan from the ongoing Asia Cup seems to have massively disappointed the entire cricketing fraternity of their country. While the fans turned furious on social media, a few former Pak cricketers were seen raging on countries leading news channels and Saeed Ajmal is one of them.
The former off-spinner turned extremely furious while speaking on Pakistan’s foul performance against Bangladesh on Wednesday. He said, “Pakistan performed so badly that I felt ashamed of watching the game.”
“The teams which used to get terrified after just listening Pakistan’s name, are now staring at us. The situation has so worsened that only Hong Kong is left who would beat us if given a chance in the coming six months,” the veteran added.
Here’s the complete video:
Ajmal went on to denounce Sarfraz’s leadership in the tournament, he said, “Talking about Sarfraz, leave the captaincy apart, his own performance was below par. He has scored just one fifty in last 11 matches, that too, after toiling hard.”
Pakistan faced India twice in the tournament and lost both the games. And having played for Pakistan for so many years, Ajmal seemed to have massively hurt with those losses to arch-rivals.
“India ke khilaf hum aise khelte hain jaise hum unke pale hue bachche hain (We play India as if we are the children raised by them).”
Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 37 runs last night in Abu Dhabi and entered the finale. They will play India in the finals for the third time in the Asia Cup history. The match is scheduled to be played on Saturday at Dubai International Stadium.
