Lahore Lions offspinner Mohammad Hafeez has been reported for a suspect bowling action by the umpires, following the team’s Champions League T20 match against Dolphins in Bangalore on Saturday evening. Dolphins offspinner Prenelan Subrayen was also reported.
Under CLT20 guidelines, both players could request for an official assessment from the BCCI’s suspect bowling action committee. For now, while they can continue to play for their teams without assessment, they have been placed on the tournament’s ‘warning list’ as per its rules. If they are reported again, while still on the warning list, the players will be suspended from bowling in the tournament - and in any cricket organised by the BCCI - until their actions are cleared. Being reported in the CLT20 has no impact on a bowler’s participation in international cricket.
The reports were made by umpires Kumar Dharamsena, Vineet Kulkarni and Anil Chaudhary, who had officiated in the Dolphins-Lions match. Both bowlers had opened the bowling for their sides and gone on to bowl a full quota of four overs. While Hafeez claimed 2 for 18 as Lions successfully defended 164, Subrayen did not pick up wicket while conceding 39 runs.
Earlier Lions’ Adnan Rasool, another offspinner, had also been reported. He has continued to turn out for his team.
he does not even deserve to be in team for WC......he keeps wasting balls every match.
Pressure builds up on team batting when players like this Hafeez are out there.
His bowling skills ain't that good either. Time to replace him.
Selecting him in WC team would make it 100% sure Pakistan won't get to a good total, or chase properly
Even Afridi gets frustrated when Hafeez is wasting balls......as seen in previous matches.......

Sunil Narian reported for action today. As if it was not batsmen's game already. ICC should seriously look to relax laws for bowlers. Not only bending laws but other playing laws too.
