Pakistan spinner Hafeez reported for suspect action

PAKISTAN’S Mohammad Hafeez has become the latest off-spinner to be reported for a suspect bowling action, the International Cricket Council said yesterday.

The 34-year-old all-rounder was reported by the match officials during Pakistan’s 248-run victory in the first test against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi. As per regulations, Hafeez, who took a wicket in New Zealand’s second innings, can continue bowling but has to get his action tested within 21 days. Hafeez’s teammate and fellow off-spinner Saeed Ajmal is currently under suspension for an illegal bowling action. Other off-spinners Sachithra Senanayake (Sri Lanka), Kane Williamson (New Zealand), Prosper Utseya (Zimbabwe), Sohag Gazi (Bangladesh) have all been reported in recent months.
