Suspended Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal will have his bowling action unofficially tested on Monday at an ICC-accredited laboratory in England.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Friday that Ajmal will travel to England for the test on Saturday, after he spend a significant amount of time at the National Cricket Performance Centre at Loughborough University where his action was remodeled with the help of former Test offspinner Saqlain Mushtaq.
Ajmal was suspended by the ICC in September after biomechanical testing in Australia found that not a single one of his deliveries in the eight-over spell came close to meeting the allowed 15-degree elbow extension.
