Pakistan off-spinner Mohammad Hafeez has decided to skip the Bangladesh Premier League and work on his faulty bowling action after the ICC suspended him from bowling with immediate effect. The batsman-off break bowler had his bowling action reported for a third time by ICC match officials during last month's limited over series with Sri Lanka in the UAE. The ICC had banned Hafeez for a year from bowling in July, 2015 and before that also in December, 2014. Ajmal managed a comeback to the national team after the World Cup in 2015 with a remodelled bowling action but has not been as effective since then. The Pakistan Cricket Board is contemplating inviting a biomechanics expert or a former test bowler to Lahore to work with Hafeez on his bowling action.
