PCB has taken notice of a statement in the media attributed to cricketer Saeed Ajmal regarding Pakistan Coach Dav Whatmore

Lahore, October 2nd 2013: Pakistan Cricket Board has taken notice of a statement in the media attributed to cricketer Saeed Ajmal regarding Pakistan Coach Dav Whatmore.

After publication of this story in the media PCB advised Saeed Ajmal to meet Dav Whatmore and apologise to him for hurting his sentiments

Saeed apologised to Dav saying "people who know me understand that I mean no harm to anyone and that is why as soon as I came to know of this unfortunate media story, I immediately went up to Dav and apologised and explained the context and circumstances in which I made certain remarks. Dav has worked tirelessly with the Pakistan team and it would be extremely unfair not to recognise his services. I enjoy very good relations with Dave and am hopeful of continuing this in the coming series."

Saeed Ajmal fell prey to tricky questions from the media and was unfortunately portrayed in an incorrect manner. PCB values Dav's contribution to Pakistan Cricket and wishes him and Pakistan team well in their upcoming series in UAE.
