Waqar Younis calls on young Pak bowlers to fill 'huge' Ajmal void

Pakistan cricket team coach Waqar Younis is pushing his bowlers to work towards filling the big void left by the absence of ace spinner Saeed Ajmal.

According to Sports 24, Ajmal, ranked number one in one-day cricket, was last month suspended after his bowling action was found illegal following an assessment in a bio-mechanical laboratory in Australia.

Talking to the media, Waqar said that Ajmal has been a world-beater for the last seven years and he has been at the top of his game but the team has to live with it and find some new boys and make sure the youngsters deliver.

He added that it was in a way an opportunity for young players like Hasan, or some other spinners who might be brought into the Test squad, and also the responsibility of some of the senior bowlers to step up and perform.

Waqar further said that with Ajmal out of the team, things were different now and that the team will have to think hard as a bunch and not as one individual like Ajmal who single-handedly won games.
