Legendary Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal has hilarious said that batsman Iftikhar Ahmed “has been playing First Class since 1974”.
This was of course a joke as Iftikhar was only born in 1990.
The 30-year-old recently played against England, taking part in two games of the three-match T20 series.
Iftikhar didn’t bat in the first T20 International, but took the wicket of England captain Eoin Morgan.
As for the second T20 International, he scored eight not out.
