Pacer Hasnain suspended over illegal bowling action

LAHORE: Pakistan bowler Mohammad Hasnain was suspended on Friday from bowling at international level after biomechanical testing confirmed his action was illegal, the country's cricket board said. Hasnain, 21, was reported for a suspect action during a stint with the Sydney Thunder in Australia's Big Bash Twenty20 league last month. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Cricket Australia (CA) had verified the report.

In a press release, the PCB said the assessment on Hasnain "stated his elbow extension for his good length delivery, full length delivery, slow bouncer and bouncer exceeded the 15-degree limits".

Under the International Cricket Council rules, an illegal bowling action is one in which the bowler's elbow extension exceeds 15 degrees.

The umpires reported his action, which was later assessed in Lahore. IANS
