Pakistan's Hafeez bowling action reported

Pakistan offspinner Mohammad Hafeez has again been reported for a suspect bowling action for a third time.

Pakistan offspinner Mohammad Hafeez has again been reported for a suspect bowling action after the third one-day international against Sri Lanka.

The ICC said that match officials handed over the report to Pakistan team management, raising concerns about the legality of the offspinner's action during the match at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

It's the third time in his career that the 37-year-old has been reported.

Hafeez will now undergo testing of his bowling action within the next two weeks. He can continue to bowl during this period until results are known.
