Hafeez to skip BPL

Pakistan off-spinner Muhammad Hafeez has decided to skip the Bangladesh Premier League and work on his faulty bowling action after the ICC suspended him from bowling with immediate effect, reports Hindustan Times.

“I have decided to not go to Bangladesh to play for the Comilla Victorians and instead I will remain in Lahore and work on my bowling action before taking a biomechanics test again at a ICC accredited laboratory,” Hafeez said.

Hafeez was due to join the BPL franchise on November 18. The batsman-off break bowler had his bowling action reported for a third time by ICC match officials during last month’s limited over series with Sri Lanka in the UAE.

He then appeared in a biomechanics test at a centre in England but the latest report which came out on Wednesday said he had failed the test and number of his deliveries were found illegal. The ICC made it clear in a press release that Hafeez could not bowl in international cricket until his action was cleared again.
