In 35 Tests, Ajmal has bagged 178 wickets at an average of 28.10 with 10 five wicket hauls in an innings and 4 ten wicket hauls in a match.
Ajmal was a match winner in ODIs too for Pakistan. In 113 ODIs, Ajmal bagged 182 wickets at an average of 22. 72. Ajmal, with his variations was a nightmare for most batsmen especially on slow wickets in the sub continent.
He was banned in 2014 for a suspect bowling action which was subsequently cleared. Ajmal was never the same bowler after his modified action, and played his last international match for Pakistan in 2015.
