Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain who recently made a name for himself in the Big Bash League (BBL) playing for Sydney Thunder has been reported for a suspect illegal bowling action in the ongoing tournament.
Hasnain’s action was reported by the umpires in the game between Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers on January 2.
As per Cricket Australia’s guidelines for suspected bowling actions in domestic competitions, Hasnain had to be tested at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane within 14 days and before his departure from the country.
But Queensland’s border restrictions due to the pandemic meant he couldn’t travel to Brisbane, and even had to depart for Pakistan early following a recall from PCB.
The 21-year-old will now undergo a biomechanical test in the appropriate facility in Lahore, but the report will have to be sent to Cricket Australia for review and verification since he was reported during a BBL fixture.
