Ajmal’s doosra: Bhajji and Ashwin are chuckers

In a stunning development, Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, who has been barred from international cricket due to a suspect action since September last year, has reportedly accused Indian off-spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh of chucking.

In a series of tweets, Zainab Abbas, a sports anchor-analyst for a local Pakistani TV channel, revealed that Ajmal claimed in an interview that all of Harbhajan’s deliveries were bowled with an illegal action.

“Never seen him (Ajmal) this frustrated. Ajmal claims that Harbhajan chucks for sure. He said ‘main challenge karta hoon keh woh 15 degrees ke andar nahin’ (I challenge that his arm bends more than the permissible limit of 15 degrees),” Abbas tweeted.
