Mohammad Hafeez Submits Reply To PCB Show-Cause

Lahore(May 23, 2018): All-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has submitted his reply to the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) show-cause notice for “criticising the International Cricket Council (ICC) rules related to reporting suspect bowling actions” on Wednesday.

In his reply, Hafeez, who was recently cleared for bowling after the third suspension over suspect action, said that he had not criticised the ICC and that his interview with BBC Urdu was presented out of context. “I only touched upon the technical aspects,” Hafeez said, clarifying that his statement was misinterpreted. Earlier PCB issued a show cause notice to Hafeez for his ill-conceived remarks against ICC in an interview to BBC,” on May 18, Friday.

The cricketer, during his interview with the British channel’s Urdu transmission, had spoken about nepotism in the sports world.

“There are so many things influencing [who gets called for suspect actions], it has a lot to do with the power of [some] boards and nobody wants to take them on,” stated Hafeez.

“So I have my doubts about this [calling system]. This is suspicious, why are match referees or on-field umpires not able to see those flexing up to 35 but me with 16 degrees?” he further questioned.
