DUBAI: Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has been reported for suspect bowling action for the second time in his career and will undergo further testing over the next three weeks.

The International Cricket Council says in a statement that match officials handed a report on Ajmal's suspect bowling action to Pakistan team manager Moin Khan soon after Sri Lanka's dramatic seven-wicket victory at Galle International Stadium.

The report, according to ICC, "cited concerns over a number of deliveries that were considered to be suspect and concluded that the bowler's action must needed to be tested."

According to regulations, a bowler is not allowed to bend his bowling arm more than 15 degrees.

Ajmal was previously reported in 2009 during one-day series against Australia in Dubai before he was cleared.
