The National’s Sport cover for the Wednesday, September 10 issue, featuring Pakistan bowler Saeed Ajmal, who has been suspended by the International Cricket Council for his bowling action.
Osman Samiuddin touches on how the ICC's ruling only adds fuel to a trend wherein "the game is so heavily loaded in favour of its batsmen that it has become deeply biased and flawed".
“One of the world’s most dangerous and most watchable bowlers during the past five years,” he writes of Ajmal, “may not bowl again internationally.”
That leaves just one message emanating from cricket’s governing body: “Feast on, batsmen”.

Checks continue
A High Court judge issued an interim order on Friday suspending a decision by Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots to direct a stop to Brexit agri-food checks at Northern Ireland ports.
Mr Justice Colton said he was making the temporary direction until a judicial review of the minister's unilateral action this week to order a halt to port checks that are required under the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Civil servants have yet to implement the instruction, pending legal clarity on their obligations, and checks are continuing.
