Hafeez's bowling action to be tested

Mohammad Hafeez is now eligible to appear in a bowling assessment test according to ICC rules and regulations. He has completed the time duration of 12 months and has every right to get his bowling action tested. If the tests are fine, he will be allowed to bowl.

“He will most probably appear for the test after the second cricket Test and before the start of the third Test against England,” an official with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said.

“Most probably we will first have him appear in an unofficial bowling test in England before we send him for the ICC assessment test,” he added.

“The PCB first wants to be sure his bowling action is modified and his elbow extension is within or close to the ICC limits of 15 degrees,” the official said.
