Galle ground proved to be problematic for another spinner after Saeed Ajmal

GALLED: (Dunya News) – Mohammad Hafeez’s bowling action has on Sunday been reported as suspicious by the Match Referee Chris Broad. Hafeez bowled 20 overs in the Test and bagged 2 wickets in exchange of 44 runs but his bowling action has been reported by Chris Broad to the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is the same ground where Saeed Ajmal’s bowling action had been reported, after which he had been banned, reported Dunya News.

Talking exclusively to Dunya News, Team Manager Naveed Akram Cheema said that though Hafeez’s action has been reported, he can play for Pakistan till the decision.

It is pertinent to mention here that Hafeez’s action had been reported last year in November while playing New Zealand in Abu Dhabi. He had to face a ban after this report but got his action cleared in April, 2015, through a test in Chennai’s bio-mechanic lab. Now his action has been suspected once again.
