Pakistan's former cricketers have reacted sharply to reports that the Indian team had questioned Saeed Ajmal's bowling action, saying it is a ploy to "upset" the offspinner's rhythm.
Former captain, Javed Miandad said he saw the reports about Ajmal's action as nothing but a ploy to upset the spinner.

"It is simple and pure, they want to upset him and distract him. Because he is troubling their batsmen and he has now got (Sachin) Tendulkar out twice, in the World Cup and last night," Miandad said.
Ajmal's action generated a fresh controversy today after senior Indian players reportedly questioned the legality of his deliveries even as the ICC (International Cricket Council) defended the bowler, saying his action was well within the allowed degree of tolerance.
