Mohammad Hasnain successfully modifies his bowling action - Reports

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Hasnain reportedly has successfully modified his bowling action, which was deemed illegal on February 4. As per Cricket Pakistan, Hasnain has rectified his action under the supervision of Umar Rasheed and will approach the International Cricket Council (ICC) for reassessment soon. The 22-year-old speedster's action came under the scanner while he played for Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League 2021-22. Further, the testing led to his action being declared illegal. "The modification of Hasnain's bowling action has been completed under the supervision of Umar Rasheed at the National High-Performance Center (NHPC)," Cricket Pakistan reported. The latest test revealed that Hasnain's elbow extension is now in conformity with the set parameter of 15-degree limits. As a result, the ICC will directly send him to a recognised laboratory, and he will be cleared for an international cricket return if he passes the test. "Tests at a local laboratory also found that the elbow of his arm was within the legal range of 15-degree limits. After complete satisfaction, the PCB will now formally request a review from the ICC." "The world's governing body will send Hasnain to a recognised laboratory for a test. He will be allowed to play international cricket if clearance is obtained," the report added. Moises Henriques, the Sydney Sixers captain, was heard accusing Hasnain of chucking in a BBL game. Following this, his action was assessed in Lahore, and the previous report adjudged it illegal. The Pakistan bowler played five matches in the BBL season, picking up seven wickets.
