Pakistan's suspended off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has claimed that it would be really difficult for him to appear in the World Cup as he needs some time to perfect his new action, but is confident about clearing his reassessment on January 24 in Chennai.
Ajmal feels that he needs some more time to get full command over his new action and would not be ready to play international cricket even if he clears the test.
Ajmal claimed that he feels he needs some mileage before gaining perfection over his new action, and added that it would be really difficult for him to appear in World Cup, The Dawn reported.
However, he said that he would give his availability to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) once he feels that he has got command over his new action.
Ajmal said that whenever he would feel that his action is coming out properly and he can bowl with same effectiveness, as previously, then only he would play for Pakistan.
