PCB object to Ajmal omission

Re: PCB object to Ajmal omission

@GoldenAsif

This probably explains it

"For all those posting please understand what the award recognizes - TEST player of the year, and period involved - Aug 2011 thru July 2012. Anything else you bring up (ODI, T20, performances outside these dates) is irrelevant. That said you will then understand why Clarke is nominated - 1,355 runs & 5 centuries, 2nd only to Sanga’s 1,4444. And Alma had the best average at 65.35. If they were to nominate the best spinner it would have been Ajmal. But they selected just 1 bowler and this is the question we should be asking. If you take into account average and strike rate, Philander is the obvious choice. In fact in this regard, Ajmal’s performance compared to all bowlers was quite ordinary."

Actually it does:

Saeed Ajmal Aug 2011-July 2012 - 12 tests - 68 wickets at 25.72, Best 7/55 (v England), 5wI/10wM 3/1

PCB w’d be quite wrong to boycott the ICC awards
