Despite being out of favour with the national selectors, Pakistani cricketer Saeed Ajmal has won the support and confidence of returning to his 'best' from his Worcestershire team-mate Moeen Ali.
Ali believes that Ajmal was just 'a four-day game away from getting back to his best', the Dawn reported, adding that it was 'brilliant' to have the 37-year-old back in the side and reiterating his opinion that Ajmal is one of the best spinners in the world

Praising the off-spinner, Ali called Ajmal a 'natural competitor' and said that he was really pleased with what he saw from him.
