He was still very skillful and had the ability to take the ball both ways,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can think of why he had so much success throughout his career,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, South Africa&#8217;s Faf du Plessis also recalled\u00a0the time he faced Saeed in 2013. &#8220;Saeed Ajmal was a challenge for me in UAE as a young, new batsman in sub-continent conditions. I remember every time I would go out to bat Saeed was warming up to bowl. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and Ajmal would be bowling at me,&#8221; Faf said.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arysports.tv\/shadab-khan-picks-saeed-ajmal-dream-pair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shadab Khan picks Saeed Ajmal as his dream pair<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Karachi: England&#8217;s captain Joe Root has named off-spinner Saeed Ajmal as one of the most skillful and challenging bowler ever faced in his career.
