Pakistan wilt under Hafeez bowling ban



Dubai: Pakistan, who were just coming to terms with the loss of their ace spinner Saeed Ajmal, banned due to a suspect action, were dealt another huge blow when their top all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez, who bowls off spin, was also suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after he failed a test on his action.
Following the analysis on his bowling action performed on November 24 by the ICC’s accredited team of Human Movement Specialists using the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough, it was found that Hafeez’s action exceeds the 15-degree limit for all deliveries.
Pakistan, who are gearing up to play a five-match one-day series against New Zealand, were stunned by the news. Moin Khan, the manager and chief selector of the team candidly admitted that it is a huge setback for Pakistan before the World Cup.
“Hafeez has a huge value both as a batsman and bowler. He is an impact player. It surely is a big setback for Pakistan, especially before the World Cup, that his bowling has been declared illegal. It will hamper our preparations, but I am also sure that just like our players performed in the absence of Saeed Ajmal, we will have spinners who will make use of this opportunity,” said Moin, trying hard to suppress his disappointment.

When asked whether there is panic in the team, having lost two experienced spinners, Moin, putting a brave face, said: “There is no panic. These kind of things happen. There are times when a player gets injured during the course of a match and you just have to cope with the situation. At least we are a bit lucky and we can prepare better towards this situation. Even the bowling options that we have in the team, they will be mentally prepared. Of course, there will be pressure, and you have to take responsibility and deliver. It’s part of the game.” More
