The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) today said it has got positive feedback about the improvement in the bowling action of veteran off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, who is presently playing in England and also consulting sports biomechanics expert Dr Paul Hurrion in every 15 days.
PCB chief selector Haroon Rasheed said that Ajmal's improvement in his bowling action and performance has come about after he has made it a routine to consult Dr Paul Hurrion every 15 days and undergo tests on his new bowling action.
"It is a very positive sign that Saeed (Ajmal) is consulting Dr Paul Hurrion, who also advises golf superstars like Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington and even Cristiano Ronaldo," Rasheed told PTI.
"I spoke to him and he himself has requested that he wants to play the full English season for Worcestershire and should not be considered for national selection until he himself is satisfied with his action and performance and makes himself available," Rasheed said.
The national selectors ignored Ajmal for the tour of Sri Lanka and before that the home ODI against Zimbabwe after he failed to impress with his remodeled bowling action on the tour to Bangladesh earlier this year.
But the veteran off-spinner has shown signs of improvement while representing his English county side in all three formats of the game and prompted Worcestershire's bowling coach Matt Mason to issue a warning to batsmen around the world, proclaiming that Ajmal was back to his best with a remodelled action.
