Saeed Ajmal has sensationally accused fellow off spinners Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin of chucking.

"Mein challenge kerta hoon keh woh 15 degrees ke andar nahin," Ajmal said about Harbhajan in an interview with Pakistani journalist Zainab Abbas.

Ajmal was banned by the ICC in September 2014 after his bowling action was found to exceed the 15 degree limit permitted under the laws. He was cleared later after modifying his action but never regained his earlier venom.

The 38-year-old tweaker produced some lacklustre performances on his comeback to international cricket and was subsequently dropped. He last played for Pakistan in April this year.

Ajmal has now decided to vent his frustration on the Indian bowlers. He reportedly claimed that while Ashwin also bowls illegal deliveries, Harbhajan is a more blatant chucker.

He also said that the chucking law should apply to everyone and not just target Pakistani players.

Another Pakistani off spinner, Mohammed Hafeez, has also been banned from bowling in international cricket for a year due to an illegal action.
