They did not take action against specific bowlers. ICC chief executive Dave Richards said the meeting, called to review the procedures and the law in regard to bowling of illegal deliveries, recommended changes focussing mainly ``on defining what is a fair delivery rather than what is an unfair delivery.''

``There was agreement that all countries had responsibility to ensure that a player with a doubtful action was identified in domestic cricket and corrective action taken before that player was selected to represent his country,'' Richards said in a statement.

``The panel is recommending that each countryestablish its own advisory panel comprising a mix of current and former players and umpires to review any player and to recommend appropriate remedial action,'' the statement continued.

The statement acknowledged that some countries already had such a procedure in place and urged others to do so. The panel was chaired by Sir Clyde Walcott and included Bob Simpson (Australia), Doug Insole and Nigel Plews (England), Kapil Dev (India), John Reid (New Zealand), Javed Burki (Pakistan), Brian Basson (South Africa), Ranjan Madugalle (Sri Lanka), Michael Holding (West Indies) and Andy Pycroft (Zimbabwe).

World Cup umpires Srinivas Venkataraghavan and Steve Bucknor also attended.

Sohail among probables

KARACHI: Pakistani cricket selectors named former captains Aamir Sohail and Rashid Latif on Thursday in a list of 24 for a training camp for next month's three-match series against the West Indies in Toronto.

Sohail, 33, was dumped as Pakistan captain last November after Zimbabwe notched up their firstwin outside their country at Peshawar. Latif, 31, was sacked as captain last March after the tours of South Africa and Zimbabwe.

AKRAM, IJAZ, MALIK OMITTED: The selectors retained 12 members of the World Cup squad but left out Wasim Akram, Salim Malik and Ijaz Ahmed who are suspended following the release of a 10-month-old report prepared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) probe committee, in which the three were named as suspects in betting and match-fixing.

A camp will be held in Lahore from September 2 and a 15-member team will be picked on September 12.

PROBABLES: Saeed Anwar, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Moin Khan, Mushtaq Ahmed, Shahid Nazir, Shahid Afridi, Arshad Khan, Shoaib Akhtar, Abdur Razzak, Hassan Raza, Imran Nazir, Akhtar Sarfaraz, Aamir Sohail, Rashid Larif, Waqar Younis, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Akram, Azhar Mahmood, Yousuf Youhana, Naveed Qureshi, Wajahatullah Wasti, Yasir Arafat and Shabbir Ahmed.
