KARACHI: Pakistan’s young pacer – Mohammad Hasnain, who was representing Quetta Gladiators in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 7, opens up for the first time after he was declared for illegal bowling action.
In a video released on the official platforms of his PSL franchise – Gladiators, the 21-year-old is optimistic of making a comeback by rectifying his weakness.
“I am leaving my team in the middle of PSL but I will soon come back by correcting my weaknesses. You will see a different Hasnain soon,” he said.
Young pacer, who was initially reported by Cricket Australia (CA) during his brief stint in the Big Bash League (BBL) said he had no clue about his arm exceeding 15-degree limits, nor was he aware of how to respond in that circumstances.
“I didn’t expect this. When I received a call for the first time over, I had no idea how to react as I was watching my videos to analyze whether this thing is happening or not,” he said.
Hasnain also recalled a challenging time when he was barred from the mega event over illegal bowling action ahead of his side’s face-off against Islamabad United.
“I returned to Pakistan and gave my bowling action test, in the middle of PSL I was banned from bowling. This time is quite difficult for me,” he added.
“I was tying my laces and someone told Sarfaraz Ahmed that Hasnain can’t play. I felt sad as I could have played one more match and made my team win,” he concluded.
It is worth mentioning here that the young pacer is currently working with the bowling consultant of the National High-Performance Center – Umar Rasheed to rectify his bowling action, while at the same time, is also hopeful for a stronger comeback.
