Give up bowling and focus on batting: Akram to Hafeez

TIL Desk Sports/ Pakistan fast bowling great, Wasim Akram has advised Muhammad Hafeez to give up bowling and just focus on his batting in a bid to extend his cricket career. “I think Hafeez should give up bowling now and just concentrate on his batting. Work harder on his batting,” Akram told in Karachi.

Hafeez’s bowling action has been found to be illegal for a third time by the International Cricket Council (ICC) last month and he has been suspended from bowling in international cricket on Thursday until he clears a biomechanics test.

The ICC decision to suspend Hafeez from bowling came this week after the Pakistani allrounder failed his bowling assessment test held in England. Akram said Hafeez should have taken a decision about his bowling even before the ICC match officials reported him and he failed the bowling test.
