Pakistan Cricket Board are expected to lodge a complaint to the International Cricket Council following the exclusion of premier spinner, Saeed Ajmal, from the final nominee list of the annual awards, scheduled to take place on September 15.
The spin wizard was overlooked for the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year award despite being the leading wicket-taker during the qualifying period of August 4, 2011 to August 6, 2012 – managing a whopping 72 scalps in 12 longer version games.
PCB is hopeful that ICC will review their decision and shortlist him alongside the already nominated http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978.
"It's fair to show a concern on Ajmal's omission from the top performers and hence the PCB has written to the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 and expect them to reconsider," a PCB spokesman told ESPNcricinfo.

Alister was brought in as McKay’s replacement for the 50-over fixtures but failed to get a game as his side went onto claim the series 2-1. However, national selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robert-John-Inverarity-c85980 is of the view that keeping the youngster with the T20 squad will greatly benefit his development, while further provides the team with an added bowling option.
"As well as adding greater flexibility to the squad, we feel the extra exposure and experience around the group will be of great benefit to Alister's development."
