Saeed Ajmal Set for English County Return
Saeed Ajmal was barred by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after umpires reported against him for a suspect bowling action during the first Test with Sri Lanka in August.
Banned off-spinner Saeed Ajmal will be cleared to play for English county side Worcestershire and Pakistan once his remodelled action is approved, former tweaker Saqlain Mushtaq has said.

Ajmal, 37, has since been working on rectifying his action with Saqlain. (Saeed Ajmal hopes of playing 2015 World Cup)
"We've changed the action and follow through," Saqlain was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
Saqlain said said there as a "massive improvement" in his bowling action after undergoing the rectifying process.
"We have changed his horizontal bowling arm movement and, at the moment, we are very positive. There is massive improvement - 60 to 70, maybe even 70 to 80% we have changed and improved his action," he said.
"As soon as his ban ends, he will obviously come straight back to playing for Worcester and not only them but also Pakistan."
