Deaf cricket is a form of the game that only hearing-impaired players are eligible to play. Saeed Ajmal’s take was a slightly insensitive one, suggesting that the lack of crowds could instill a lot of boredom amongst the players and could well be a motivation-killer, too:
The 42-year old feels that the stands should not be left emptied during the upcoming matches in England. Saeed Ajmal came up with a recommendation of his own, suggesting the cricketing organizers to allow up to a thousand spectators to watch the live action.
Meanwhile, the Pakistani squad comprising of 20 players have already touched down in England, via a chartered flight, for their Test and T20I series which commences from early August.
Saeed Ajmal believes England are favourites when cricket returns
Upon arriving in Manchester, the squad was then transferred to Worcester where the players will observe a two weeks long self-isolation period before starting their training sessions. They will be transferred to Derbyshire on July 13.
Speaking of the upcoming series, Saeed Ajmal was adamant that England remain hot favourites to clinch the series and overhaul Pakistan. He reflected that Pakistan’s recent track record in Test cricket is poor and they have an inexperienced side which may lead to their downfall.
