Muhammad Hafeez suspended from bowling in international cricket
The Pakistani off-spinner Muhammad Hafeez has been suspended from bowling in international cricket after he failed a test on his action conducted at an ICC accredited centre in Loughborough, England.
The ICC said that the analysis found the flex in his action exceeding the 15-degree limit for all deliveries.
Hafeez was reported for suspect bowling action after the first Test against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi last month.
The off-spinner will now have to rectify his action and pass the ICC test before he can bowl in international cricket again. He, however, can play international cricket as a batsman.
