Ajmal off to England today
10
LAHORE: Pakistan’s off-spinner Saeed Ajmal will depart for England on Saturday to go through unofficial testing on his remodeled action at the newest ICC accredited laboratory at National Cricket Performance Center at Loughborough, situated at Loughborough University, Cardiff.
Ajmal’s tests will be conducted on Monday.
During his brief stay in England, Ajmal will also work with former Test off-spin bowler Saqlain Mushtaq.
Ajmal is banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for an illegal bowling action.—Sports Reporter

I'm sorry dawn, if you are going to claim to be the premier English language newspaper of the country then get your facts correct. There is no Loughborough University in Cardiff. There is the Cardiff University and The University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (now called Cardiff Met) and is my alma mater, so I know a little bit about Cardiff. Also if Saeed Ajmal was going to be going to Cardiff then he would have been going to Wales and not England, because Cardiff is the capital of Wales and not a part of England. England and Wales are two separate provinces of a country called Great Britain.

@Ahmed please get your own facts right. Great Britiain is an island not a country. England and Wales are countries not provinces. UK and Britian (not Great Britian) are terms used to refer to union of states of England, Wales, Scotland and Norther Ireland.

@Ahmed England has no provinces, its a unitary state where all powers belong to the center-London. London has devolved some powers to the four units (england, scotland, ireland, and wales).
I reckon he is going to Loughborough, Leicestershire. yeah you are right uni is not in cardiff.

@shayat your comments made my day. just a polite suggestion to make you correct. What is a difference between an island and a country? firstly, a country can be an island, but it does not mean its not a country. An island need not necessarily to be a country. is not it?
secondly wales and Scotland are not countries, for a nation to have a status of a country, it should have four thing: Sovereignty, territory, government and Population. Scots, irish, and walesh have three things, but no sovereignty which belongs to UK.

I really don't expect Ajmal to play for Pakistan anymore because of two counts, his age and the reason that his action is remodeled, with his remodeled action I don't expect him to be successful.
