Pakistan’s young fast bowler, Mohammad Hasnain’s bowling action has been approved by the ICC, making him eligible to play at all levels of cricket. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Thursday that Hasnain’s bowling action has been found to be legal as, after the reassessment, the amount of elbow extension was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations.

Confirming the same, ICC said, “As such, he can now resume bowling in all forms of cricket, which includes domestic cricket worldwide.”

Mohammad Hasnain’s bowling action was reported in February when he was plying his trade in the Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia, and thereafter, he failed a bowling action review test conducted under ICC supervision.
