Saeed Ajmal struggling to rectify his bowling action, says PCB

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shehryar Khan has revealed that off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has been unable to bring his action under the 15-degree restriction. Khan said now it was up to Ajmal to inform the PCB as to when he wants to be reassessed because a failure next time could threaten his career, according to thenews.com.pk.

The decision to ban him was taken Sep 9 after an International Cricket Council (ICC) accredited team of bio-mechanics experts tested his action at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane. Ajmal was reported for action after a Test match between Pakistan and Sri-Lanka at Galle. The offie has 183 wickets to his credit from 111 One-Day Internationals (ODIs). IANS
