Pakistan’s leading off-spinner Saeed Ajmal is set to miss the first two one-day internationals against Sri Lanka as he has to fly to Brisbane to undergo tests on his bowling action.
Saeed, 36, will head to Brisbane from Colombo on August 23 with his test scheduled the next day. The second one-dayer is scheduled for August 25, and if the tests take longer he will miss the second match as well, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official told PTI.
Dr Sohail Saleem who heads the PCB medical panel will accompany Saeed to Brisbane. In the past, Pakistani bowlers reported for suspected bowling actions have undergone tests at the University of Western Australia in Perth and most of them were cleared, including Saeed who was first reported for his bowling action in 2009.
