Pakistan’s emerging fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain has been cleared to bowl again after his remodeled action was found to be within legal limits by the ICC.
Pakistan Cricket Board announced the news today (Thursday).
The 22-year-old was banned from bowling after his action was found to exceed the limits set by ICC after being reported during his Big Bash League stint with the Sydney Thunder earlier this year.
Hasnain was suspended from bowling following tests conducted on his bowling action at the ICC’s accredited testing center in Lahore on 21 January.
The test report, which was reviewed and verified by the Cricket Australia’s independent expert, had found his bowling action to be illegal
The pacer then underwent rigorous work to remodel his action and recently conducted an official test to check the legality of his new arm action.
Hasnain underwent reassessment of his bowling action on 21 May again at the ICC’s accredited testing center in Lahore and the report was again verified by Cricket Australia’s independent experts, as required under the ICC regulations.
The report announced that Mohammad Hasnain’s bowling action has been found to be legal after the amount of elbow extension in the reassessment was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations.
After being cleared, Mohammad Hasnain is available for immediate selection.
