Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday ran a clarification note where it said that it stands behind Mohammad Hafeez and is lending all its support to Mohammad Hafeez to rectify his bowling action.

The PCB will like to state that already a bowling action review committee has been setup where Ahsan Raza, Ali Zia, Saleem Jaffar and Sajjad Akbar are its members. The committee has been tasked to provide all possible training and assistance to rectify his bowling action at par with ICC standard.

On the recommendations of the four-member committee, Mohammad Hafeez will work on his action at the National Cricket Academy, and after every 10 days will undergo a test at the biomechanics lab setup in LUMS.

The committee will, therefore, analyze the reports of the tests, and will further guide Mohammad Hafeez before he proceeds with the official test to ICC.

The PCB refuted the news circulated in the media that it was not backing the premier all-rounder. “The story on the media is a deliberate attempt to mislead and defame the PCB,” PCB release said.—PPI
