Islamabad: The Pakistan Cricket Board has retracted its decision to file an appeal for Saeed Ajmal, who believes he can overturn his
suspension for an illegal bowling action on medical grounds.

Ajmal was suspended by the International Cricket Council on Tuesday, and soon after,80-year-old PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan said in Lahore they will file an appeal . But within hours again, Khan backed down on the appeal.

Instead, he issued a statement that the issue will now be referred to its own illegal bowling review committee. (Full ICC Statement on the suspension)

The committee's recommendations will be considered before the board makes its next move, Khan said. ( 'Pakistan bowling is finished
without Ajmal')

Analysis of Ajmal's action in the first test loss to Sri Lanka in Galle from Aug. 6-10 revealed "all his deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees
level of tolerance," the ICC said.
But Ajmal was optimistic about an appeal,saying the ICC had not yet considered medical reports in which there's a bend in his arm. He
did not elaborate.
