Dropping Ajmal

PCB mulls dropping Ajmal

The Pakistan Cricket Board is seriously considering withdrawing the off-spinner Saeed Ajmal from the ICC World Twenty20 squad as they await the results of the tests done on his bowling action.
  Ajmal’s doosra was reported by the umpires during the second one-day international against Australia in Dubai last month but was allowed to continue bowling till an assessment of his action, done by the ICC’s appointed biomechanist Bruce Elliott, is completed.
  ‘Elliot is supposed to send a report based on the tests to the ICC in 14-days time maximum but he can do it earlier,’ Saleem Altaf, the PCB’s chief operating officer, told Dawn. ‘So we are waiting to see what happens. But we are also pondering the possibility of pulling him out of the [Twenty20] World Cham-pionship and including a reserve player.’
