Pakistan opening batsman and allrounder Mohammad Hafeez has been suspended from bowling in international cricket after he failed a bowling action test at the ICC accredited centre in Loughborough, England. An ICC statement reveals that all of Hafeez’s deliveries exceeded the allowed 15 degrees. /h2>
Hafeez was initially reported during the Twenty20 Champions League tournament while he was playing for the Lahore Lions but that sanction did not apply to International cricket. However, he was then reported during Pakistan
He will be unable to bowl in International cricket until his action is retested after correction. However, he can still bowl in Pakistan domestic competitions as per the PCB’s instructions. Hafeez is one of many bowlers this year who have been reported and suspended for an illegal bowling action as the ICC continue to stamp down on this issue in the game.
As a result, Hafeez will be unable to bowl in the five match ODI series against New Zealand which begins on Monday but Hafeez believes it won’t affect the team since he doesn’t actually rate himself as a quality spinner and instead will allow him to focus on his batting.
