AFP, Karachi :
Pakistan paceman Mohammad Hasnain was suspended 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.
