| off-spinner Bowler Saeed Ajmal |
Indian television channel NDTV, quotingunnamed sources, said the team management had spoken to the ICC about Ajmal'saction after Sunday's Asia Cup match between the arch-rivals in Dhaka.
ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat, however,clarified that the governing body saw no problem in the off-spinner's bowlingstyle.
"We have tested Ajmal, checked him andmonitored him in match situations, and found he bowls within the alloweddegrees of tolerance," Lorgat told the Times Now news channel.
"We must be careful at what the eye seesand what the reality is," Lorgat said.
It was the first match between India andPakistan since the World Cup semi-final at Mohali in March last year.
The 34-year-old Ajmal, who has played 20 Testsand 63 one-dayers since his international debut in 2008, has found himselfunder the spotlight several times due to his action.
He was first reported by match officialsduring a one-day series against Australia in the United Arab Emirates in 2009,but was later cleared to play after remedial work was done on his action.
Doubts about his action were again raisedduring the recent Tests against England at the same venue, but both the ICC andthe Pakistan Cricket Board absolved Ajmal of any wrongdoing. (AFP)
