Ajmal still unable to rectify bowling action
Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shehryar Khan has revealed that off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has been unable to bring his action under the 15-degree restriction.
khan said now it was up to Ajmal to inform the PCB as to when he wants to be reassessed because a failure next time could threaten his career, according to thenews.com.pk.
He also said that Ajmal has worked very hard and he had other tricks up his sleeve than just the ‘doosra’ and the PCB would try to get his action reassessed before Jan 7, which is the deadline to name the team for the World Cup.
The decision to ban him was taken Sep 9 after an International Cricket Council (ICC) accredited team of bio-mechanics experts tested his action at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane.
Ajmal was reported for action after a Test match between Pakistan and Sri-Lanka at Galle.
The offie has 183 wickets to his credit from 111 One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
