Newly-appointed spin coach Saeed Ajmal resolved on Wednesday to polish the skills of young spinners.
Speaking exclusively on Samaa TV in Faisalabad, the former Test cricketer said: “I will try to meet the expectations of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) by working hard and utilising all my experience. But this will be a time-consuming process.”
He talked about the upcoming tour of the national team to Australia. “The spinners are less likely to succeed in Australian conditions,’’ he added.
