Ajmal returns to int'l cricket, picked for Bangladesh tour

Suspended from international cricket for an illegal bowling action, Pakistan's star off-spinner Saeed Ajmal today returned to the national side for the tour of Bangladesh after his modified action was approved by the ICC. Ajmal finds a place in the squads for the Test, ODIs and Twenty20 matches. The new national selection committee headed by Haroon Rasheed named separate squads for all the three formats. The Bangladesh tour begins tentatively from April 17 with three one-day matches followed by two Tests and a T20 match. Saeed's modified bowling action was cleared just before the World Cup. But his new action is yet to be tested in competitive cricket after his bowling action was declared illegal by the International Cricket Council (ICC) last September during the tour of Sri Lanka.
