"Hafeez's bowling action will now be scrutinised further under the ICC illegal bowling action regulations," the ICC said in a statement.

"He is required to undergo testing within 14 days, and, during this period, Hafeez is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the assessments are known."

Hafeez was suspended on two previous occasions for the same offence and served a 12-month ban, starting in July 2015, after his action was found to be illegal by the ICC for the second time within a two-year period.
