DUBAI: Pakistan will miss spin king Saeed Ajmal when their Test series against Australia begins on Wednesday.
Captain Misbah-ul Haq admitted Ajmal’s absence is significant.
“Ajmal has left a big hole,” said Misbah.
“But we have youngsters who should grab the chance and I am confident they can.”
Australia skipper Michael Clarke said Ajmal will definitely be missed by Pakistan.
“I think there is no doubt that Ajmal is an amazing bowler. I think obviously Pakistan wish they had him available for selection,” said Clarke.
“I have always said that Pakistan have always had a lot of talent in any form of the game and I am sure the Test eleven that they put on the field is very talented and know these conditions.”
