Mohammad Hafeez reported for suspect bowling action
Mohammad Hafeez, Pakistan's all-rounder, has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action. He was in fine form during the first Test against New Zealand played at Abu Dhabi.
He scored a
century in the second innings and also showed his wares with the ball by taking the key wicket of Kane Williamson. It was match referee, Andy Pycroft, who reported to
International Cricket Council (ICC) about Hafeez's action. He is also said to have
reported it to Moin Khan, the chief selector of Pakistan. Hafeez now has to undertake testing on his bowling action within 21 days. Hafeez though, is allowed to continue
bowling in internationals until the results of testing on his bowling action is known. Earlier, Hafeez was reported for a suspected illegal bowling action by the umpires in CLT20 2014 while playing for Lahore Lions.
