PCB issues clarification after Ajmal lands in controversyLahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board was on Tuesday forced to issue a clarification after off-spinner Saeed Ajmal got embroiled in an unwanted controversy over his bowling action following his interview to a British newspaper.

Ajmal, who finished with 24 wickets in the 3-0 whitewash of England in the three-match Test series, got entangled in the controversy after a British newspaper said that Ajmal had claimed that the ICC had given him special dispensation to straighten his arm beyond the allowed 15 degrees for bowlers.

The off-spinner reportedly told the newspaper that the ICC has allowed him extra leniency, up to 23.5 degrees. "I don`t know about my bowling action, but somebody was telling me your action is bad. ICC has allowed me 23.5 because my arm is not good because of an accident, that is why a problem," Ajmal was quoted as saying in the report.

But the Pakistan team manager, Naveed Cheema in a statement insisted that Ajmal had been misunderstood. He said Ajmal had been referring to his elbow extension and not his arm.

"Ajmal was referring to the angle of elbow abduction i.e. the angle of the upper arm to the forearm and not the degree of elbow extension. This angle is approximately 23 degrees in Ajmal`s case," Cheema said in the PCB statement.

"The ICC`s level of tolerance of 15 degrees relates to the degree of elbow extension that is permitted in the bowling action i.e. the amount by which the arm is straightening," it added.

``kuch saanno bhi marandaa sokh hai`` why a player like ajmal always be on media, after all we know his english is poor, then he should avoid these kinds of controversy, if you still want to say on media, you should give your match performance rather than technical views.
