Mohammad Hasnain rectifies his bowling action, passes first Test

LAHORE: Pakistan’s young pacer Mohammad Hasnain has rectified his bowling action under the supervision of the National High-Performance Center (NHPC) bowling coach Umar Rasheed, here on Tuesday.

The 22-years-old Hasnain, whose bowling action was reported by the Australian umpires in the Big Bash League (BBL) 11, underwent a bowling action test at a local laboratory here.

The reports suggested that the right-arm pacer’s elbow was found within the legal range of 15-degrees. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will formally request the International Cricket Council (ICC) for a review after complete satisfaction.

It is pertinent to mention here that the ICC will then send Hasnain to a recognized laboratory, where he would undergo a test under the defined mechanism.

The young pacer will then be able to make his international comeback after obtaining the clearance from the cricketing governing body.
