Pakistan off-spinner, Saeed Ajmal on Sunday alleged that ICC umpire, Steve Davis had victimised Pakistan after he ruled Umar Akmal caught behind on a referral decision during their high-octane World Cup opener against India in Adelaide.

"Steve Davis never upheld any appeal when I bowled and I had to always ask for a referral to get a wicket when he was the umpire," Ajmal said on Dunya news channel.

The channel played up the dismissal of Umar Akmal during the match as a supposed conspiracy against Pakistan. "Steve Davis has always had issues with us and even when we didn't want him for a match no one listened to us," Ajmal said.
