Pakistan's magical spinner Saeed Ajmal is ready to take on the match against India in the upcoming Champions Trophy in England. Talking to private news channel, Ajmal said that Pak-India clash is as big as eagerly anticipated as the final, it always fantastic to play against India.
Ajmal said that the atmosphere is always electric and surely the fans at Edgbaston and all those watching the telecast around the world will not be disappointed by this match. It is like a mini-final within the tournament.
The wily Pakistani spinner pointed out that both sides are very strong and at the end of the day, the team which handles the pressure will be victorious.
"We have the psychological advantage having defeated India in their own backyard in the one-day series and I'm confident that we can defeat them in Birmingham," he said. To a question about the absence of big names from the Indian team Ajmal said it was pretty normal for the players to come and go.
"Big names are replaced by lesser known players who then turn into big names and then they get replaced. The cycle of cricket goes on, no cricketer lasts forever and no cricketer has a God-given right to be picked again and again", he added.
"If a player is out of form or struggling for form then it's only right that they are replaced by a player who is in form," he explained. The India-Pakistan clash is scheduled for June 15 in the event starting June 6.
