Suspended Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal will appear for a formal biomechanics test on the legality of his bowling action in an Indian laboratory instead of England on Jan 24, a spokesman of the PCB told reporters here on Monday.
A few days back, Ajmal had expressed his desire to appear for the test in England in order to get his bowling action cleared by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
But instead, the ICC has asked him to undergo the formal test in their accredited laboratory in the Indian city of Chennai.
If Ajmal fails the test, he could face a one-year suspension from the game but there are reports he has decided to give up bowling the ‘doosra’ and is working on the carrom-ball in order to get cleared.
