Saeed Ajmal could be cleared to play in the upcoming cricket World Cup according to coaches present during the test conducted on the banned Pakistan off-spinner at the ICC-accredited laboratory in Chennai on Friday, reported The Indian Express.

According to the coaches, Ajmal was tested not only for his off-spinners but a variety of balls and the coaches at the centre disclosed that following the test, the bowler’s action show marked changes and predict that he has every chance of getting cleared by the ICC experts.

The report has been sent to the ICC headquarters in Dubai.

Soon after completing his test, Ajmal said that “earlier I used to bring my bowling arm from behind my body. Now it is more of side on. Likewise, my front foot used to be on the air but now I keep my delivery strike on the ground.”

The 38-year-old who was suspended from bowling in international cricket last September for illegal bowling action credited former Pakistan offie Saqlain Mushtaq for helping him out.

Spinners are becoming victim of ICC's foul play, they might just as well ban spinners.

As much I would like to see Ajmal back in the team right away, I think it might be a good idea for him to gain confidence by playing a few matches at the domestic level. I have not doubt he will be back in team and be just as effective. My only concern is to not rush him without adequate practice with the new bowling action.
