The pioneer of ‘doosra’ Saqlain Mushtaq on Tuesday came out in support of Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, who has been suspended from bowling in international cricket by the ICC after his >action was deemed illegal by parent body’s expert panel.
Saqlain took to micro-blogging site twitter offering his help for the troubled spinner.
“I will help and support saeed ajmal to the best of my ability if required,” Saqlain wrote on his twitter page.

Ajmal’s teammate and fast bowler Umar Gul also expressed his solidarity with his colleague and wished that he would soon be back in Pakistan colours.
However, South African opening batsman Quinton de Kock made a tongue-in-cheek remark on the social networking site about the decision on Ajmal.
“Whether he chucks it or not, I’d like to see someone chuck it better than he does #SaeedAjmal” De Kock commented.
Incidentally, Ajmal has taken the highest number of wickets in international cricket across all formats in the past three years.
