Pakistan send Hafeez for bowling testing

The Pakistan Cricket Board will send suspended offspinner Mohammad Hafeez to India for testing on his bowling action next week.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to send only one of its two suspended offspinners, Mohammad Hafeez, to India next week for unofficial testing of his bowling action, while Saeed Ajmal will stay in Pakistan.

The PCB took the decision on Saturday. Former test spinners Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq Ahmed, who have worked with Hafeez, agreed that the offspinner should be tested at an ICC-accredited laboratory in Chennai, India.

Ajmal will continue to work on his remodelled bowling action with Saqlain and a bio-mechanist at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.

Ajmal was suspended in September by the ICC while Hafeez was banned from bowling in international cricket earlier this month after his action was found to be illegal during the first test against New Zealand.
