International Cricket: Ajmal to have bowling action tested
Friday 7 November 2014 13:47, UK
Saeed Ajmal's bowling action will be unofficially tested in England on Monday.
The Pakistan off-spinner, who was banned from playing by the International Cricket Council in September, will be analysed at an ICC-accredited laboratory.
The game's governing body suspended the 37-year-old after none of his deliveries met its rules over a 15-degree elbow extension during eight overs of testing in Brisbane.
He will now go through testing on his remodelled action at the National Cricket Performance Centre at Loughborough University.
“I am supremely confident of a strong comeback to the national team," said Ajmal.
“I have made some changes to my action and I am comfortable with the new action. I am also confident whenever I am back I will be as effective as before."
Despite Ajmal's absence, Pakistan beat Australia 2-0 in the Test series in the United Arab Emirates.
