The moment continues to haunt Pakistan fans after 22 years. Saeed Ajmal still talks about what he went through.

Saeed Ajmal, in an interview, said he could not leave his house for more than a week after returning from West Indies because only his name was taken after the match.

He said bringing variations on doosra and developing a pacer helped him become the number one bowler in Test, ODI and T20Is.

Saeed Ajmal was one of the most prolific spinners Pakistan ever produced. The off-spinner represented the Green Shirts in 212 fixtures across all three formats (Test, ODI and T20Is) with 447 wickets to his name.

He has scored 866 runs and scored a Test half-century too.

The spinner was part of the Pakistan team that won its maiden ICC T20 World Cup in 2009.
