Pakistan all rounder Shoaib Malik will consult a bio-mechanics expert in Australia in a bid to remove any flaws in his bowling action.
Umpires Simon Taufel and Aleem Dar, along with match referee Jeff Crowe, reported Malik's bowling action to the International Cricket Council (ICC) after last month's final of the triangular one-day tournament between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Lahore.
"He will be proceeding to Australia with the Pakistan team on November 27 and will consult Professor Bruce Elliot at the University of Western Australia in Perth," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) General Manager Zakir Khan told Reuters on Tuesday.

Malik's action had been called into question before in 2002 in Sharjah.
The 22-year-old has been Pakistan's most improved player in recent months, scoring 1,968 runs and taking 80 wickets in 84 one-day internationals and playing in seven Tests.
Shoaib Akhtar and Shabbir Ahmed are other prominent Pakistan bowlers to be reported for suspect bowling actions recently.
