International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday suspended world’s number one ODI bowler Saeed Ajmal for an illegal bowling action, a decision which the Pakistan Cricket Board intends to challenge.
‘The International Cricket Council today confirmed that an independent analysis has found the bowling action of Pakistan’s off-spinner Saeed Ajmal to be illegal and, as such, the player has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect,’ the ICC said in a statement.
The analysis of the 36-year-old spinner’s action revealed that all his deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under the regulations.
