Saeed Ajmal was a brilliant off-spinner for Pakistan, known for his cunning doosra, playing a huge part in their 2009 T20 World Cup win. But his bowling action was reported in 2014, particularly his bent elbow when he bowled the doosra, and it was revealed that his elbow flex was more than the allowed 15 degrees. A ban and provisional expulsion from international cricket resulted from this.

Ajmal made a comeback in 2015 with a changed action but found it difficult to achieve the same level of success that he had with his original bowling style. He soon found himself out of the Pakistan team and quietly retired from the game in 2017.
