Dubai, Aug 24:
Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal’s suspect bowling action will be tested at the Cricket Australia National Cricket Centre in Brisbane tomorrow and the result will be declared in about two weeks time, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement today.
The ICC clarified the procedures that will be followed to test Ajmal’s ‘Doosra’, which was questioned in the first Test against Sri Lanka.
The top-ranked ODI bowler, whose ‘Doosra’ has come under the scanner for the second time after he was cleared by the ICC in 2009, though he was allowed to continue bowling with a corrective action subject to a 21-day appeal.
Reported to match referee Andy Pycroft by on-field umpires Ben Oxenford and Ian Gould in Galle, Ajmal played the next Test against Sri Lanka only to see Pakistan lose the match and the two-match series. The venue and time of the slated test was decided in consultation with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). (PTI)
