Introduction 

The Reason Why Saeed Ajmal was Banned?

 

Saeed Ajmal was once a top spin bowling cricketer in the history of the game. Off-spinner Pakistani is among some of the major players who played some crucial matches on behalf of his national team and he was a nightmare to most of the top batsmen.

 

The Major Reason of the Prohibition

The ICC banned the player to bowl in the international game, in 2014, when it was Saeed Ajmal, since something was mentioned in one of his Tests in Sri Lanka, in Galle. The rule of the ICC states that, a bowler cannot extend his arm beyond 15 degree, when he throws the ball

. His delivery was tested in a biomechanics laboratory where it was discovered that most of his deliveries except his doosra which was his trademark were way beyond the threshold allowed.

That was a bit devastating not only to Ajmal but also to the Pakistan cricket team which was very much relying on him as their trump card spinner. His doosra was a killer but it also happened to be the principle delivery that in itself has been nicked at being too on the side of arm-biased.

 

The Things of Attempting to Make a Comeback

 

Saeed Ajmal has done a lot of work on correcting his action after the ban. In early 2015, ICC gave him a clean chit allowing him to take part in international cricket again. Nevertheless the reformed action had impacted considerably on his effectiveness and he had never managed to recover his former effectiveness. This later in 2017 resulted in his retirement as a cricketer in all forms of the game.

 

Scandals and Criticism

 

Most of the fans as well as cricket analysts in Pakistan strongly believed that Saeed Ajmal was not treated in a fair manner. In interviews, Ajmal himself complained that he was frustrated at how he was judged over the action that he did and that other players in other countries were given more leeway to operate. There were also some voices questioning the timing of the ban since it happened during the time when Ajmal was achieving his highest levels in his career and ruling the cricketing world.

 

However denial of Ajmal the chances to represent Pakistan, which happened due to the controversies surrounding the player, he took the decision in a very dignified way and was still devoted to the Pakistan cricket. He had since started opening a cricket academy to develop young players and is also playing an active role in developing the players of tomorrow.

 

Legacy of Saeed Ajmal

 

Saeed Ajmal has not ruined his legacy with the ban even though it has ruined his career. He ended his career achieving mind-blowing statistics that had a total of 178 wickets in test matches and 184 wickets in ODIs He was a game changer who added variety and flair to spin bowling and he was an idol to a generation of new bowlers in Pakistan and further.
