PCB awaits Hafeez’s bowling test report

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday said the test report of seasoned off-spinner Mohammad Hafeez’s bowling action in biomechanics facility in Lahore is still awaited.

“Hafeez’s bowling action was tested at the biomechanics facility in Lahore and its report is yet to come. Once the report comes and if he [Hafeez] clears the test then PCB will contact the ICC for his official examination,” PCB chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed told APP on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old Hafeez, having represented Pakistan in 50 Tests, 177 ODIs and 77 T20s, has faced problems with his bowling action since 2014.

In July 2015, he was banned from bowling in international cricket for 12 months after his action was found to be illegal for a second time since November 2014.

Meanwhile, Hafeez in a statement earlier this week had said that he was ready to undergo bowling assessment test, and was fully fit.
