Left frustrated after his international career was derailed owing to a suspect bowling action, Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has lashed out at the International Cricket Council, saying that the world body’s rules on the issue make no sense and will kill the art of off-spin bowling.

The 38-year-old said if the ICC wanted to enforce its new rules properly, it should first carry out assessment tests of all bowlers active in international cricket at present.

“Why just target the off-spinners Why not the left arm spinners, leg-spinners or fast bowlers I can tell you that I have been through this bowling assessment process so many times and have watched and studied this issue so closely that I can vouch that if tests were carried out there would be many other bowlers whose bowling actions would exceed the 15 degrees extension limit,” Ajmal told Geo Super channel.
