Its a major blow for Pakistan's preparation for the World Cup however Pakistan Cricket Board is trying its level best to make the action corrected and approved before World Cup.
Sri Lanka's Sachitra Senanayake and New Zealand's Kane Williamson were also banned for suspected bowling action but later the ban was taken back.
