Saeed Ajaml Dropped From Srilanka Tour!

Offspinner Saeed Ajmal, who was part of the squad in the two-Test series against Bangladesh, was left out because of his lack of impact with the remodelled bowling action. Ajmal picked up a solitary wicket in the tour game before the start of Bangladesh Tests, but couldn't make it to the Test XI with Zulfiqar Babar and Yasir Shah pipping him for spinners' spots. He played two ODIs and one T20 on the tour, but managed just one more wicket.


 Babar Azam, Bilawal Bhatti, Sami Aslam were also excluded, while Rahat Ali, Sohaib Maqsood and Sohail Khan continued to be unavailable due to their respective injuries. Shehzad was dropped from both Test and ODI squads after the 2015 World Cup on disciplinary grounds. He was recalled for the Zimbabwe ODIs but remained on the bench throughout the three-match series. Shehzad is one of three openers - Mohammad Hafeez and Masood, being the other two - in the squad.
