Off-spinner Saeed Ajmal won all the bowling honours at Pakistan's inaugural cricket awards ceremony, after he was controversially left off the International Cricket Council's awards list.
Despite bagging 72 wickets in 12 Tests from August 2011 to August 2012, the 35-year-old was not included in any of the ICC shortlists when they were announced in September, sparking outrage in Pakistan at the perceived injustice.
Pakistan's protest over the omission went unheeded, but at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) awards Saturday night Ajmal was declared best Pakistan bowler for 2012 in all three formats -- Test, one-day and T20.
Ajmal, who helped Pakistan rout then world number one Test side England 3-0 in the United Arab Emirates early last year, also won the PCB's special prize for best bowler of the year.
