suspect action after the Abu Dhabi Test against
New Zealand in November last year. (Source:

Pakistan’s Mohammad Hafeez could be banned
from bowling for one year after the part-time
off-spinner was again reported by match
officials for a suspect action during the Test
against Sri Lanka in Galle that ended on Sunday.
The opening batsman has to undergo further
testing within 14 days and can continue bowling
until the results are known, the International
Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement on
Monday.
The 34-year-old will be automatically banned from bowling for 12 months if the new assessment finds his action to be illegal because
he has been reported twice in a two-year period.
Former Pakistan captain Hafeez was initially
reported after the first test against New Zealand
in Abu Dhabi in November and was subsequently banned after an independent analysis found his action to be illegal.
He was cleared to bowl again in April after changing his action and took two first-innings
wickets in the 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in
Galle.
