The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has hired former off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq to help Ajmal remodel his bowling action in accordance with the International Cricket Council’s new protocol for bowlers.
PCB senior general manager of medical and sports science, Dr Sohail Saleem is confident that the efforts would lead to positive results.
“There is definite improvement in Ajmal’s bowling action as the team of experts led by Mushtaq are working in two sessions with him every day," said Saleem.
"Saqlain's presence and advice has helped Ajmal a lot and the target is to make him ready for a bowling action test before the World Cup."

Don't waist time.He can never be the same bowler again.
I think the new ICC law is ruining original cricket players badly, micro managing players like narine and ajmal action is doubtful.
The problem is to demoralize the strenghts/records of Ajmal by forcing him to change his bowling action. I fear that ajmal might not able to give his best in bowling during Worldcup 2015.
I doubt very much about Ajmal's return to International Cricket. He will not be able to correct his bowling action, no matter how much help is given to him by Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq Ahmed. The reason is that he has been bowling for a number of years with a particular action and to change the same would be difficult specially bowling the doosra.
