Pakistani all rounder Mohammad Hafeez banned from bowling

COLOMBO (News 1st) - Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has been banned from bowling in English domestic competitions because of an illegal action. He was reported by the umpires after a T20 Blast match between Middlesex and Somerset at Taunton in August. The suspension was imposed following a Bowling Review Group hearing at Lord's. The 39-year-old off-spinner played four T20 games for Middlesex last summer, taking two wickets and hitting 115 runs, with the highest score of 48. Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez in a statement said "Despite identifying procedural testing flaws, which have been accepted by the review committee, as well as realizing the findings will potentially affect my reputation as a world-proven all-rounder, I accept the Bowling Review Group findings,"
