Pakistan offspinner Saeed Ajmal has been reported for a suspect bowling action, following the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, reported ESPNcricinfo.com.
According to the report, as per ICC regulations, Ajmal will have to undergo testing of his action within 21 days, but can continue bowling until the results of the test are known.
According to the ICC, the match officials’ report cited concerns over a number of deliveries that were considered to be suspect and concluded that the bowler’s action needed to be tested. The report has been handed over to Pakistan’s team manager, Moin Khan.
This is the second instance of Ajmal being reported for a suspect action. In April 2009, the bowler was reported for his action while bowling the doosra, and was cleared the following month.
