The International Cricket Council (ICC) has permitted the contentious bowling actions of offspinners Saeed Ajmal and Sohag Ghazi, allowing both players to resume bowling in international cricket.

Pakistan's Ajmal and Ghazi from Bangladesh are not part of their respective World Cup teams after both were suspended last year due to illegal bowling actions.

In a Twitter, Saeed Ajmal said, ‘’Alhumdolillah (all praises go to the almighty) I've passed the test I would like 2 say thank you very much 2 all my Fans, SeniorPlayers, PCB, Friends 4 their support & patience’’.

The ICC on Saturday said testing in India showed the elbow flexing during the delivery action of both bowlers was within the acceptable 15-degrees level of tolerance.

International umpires will be provided videos and photos of both players' legal bowling actions, for comparison if either bowler comes under future doubt of 'chucking'.

Ajmal was reported during the first test against Sri Lanka in August while Ghazi was also reported in August after a one-day international in West Indies.
