SPINNER Saeed Ajmal will be unavailable for the start of Worcestershire's season after being included in the Pakistan Test, ODI and T20 squads for the tour of Bangladesh during April and May.

Saeed will be making his international comeback after his remodelled action was approved at the ICC biomechanics centre in Chennai in February.

County director of cricket Steve Rhodes expects the 37-year-old to play at some stage of the 2015 campaign but his unavailability at the start will mean stepping up plans to bring in a different overseas player during that period.

Saeed, who took 63 wickets in nine LV= County Championship matches in 2014, last played for his country in the first test of the series against Sri Lanka in Galle last August.

Pakistan will play three ODI's on April 17, 19 and 22, a single T20 international on April 24, as well as two Tests beginning on April 28 and May 6 respectively.
