LAHORE Lions off-spinner Mohammad Hafeez has been reported for a suspect bowling action by the umpires, following the team’s Champions League T20 match against Dolphins in Bangalore last evening. Dolphins off-spinner Prenelan Subrayen was also reported. 

Under Champions League guidelines, both players could request an official assessment from the BCCI’s suspect bowling action committee. For now, while they can continue to play for their teams without assessment, they have been placed on the tournament’s ‘warning list’ as per its rules. If they are reported again, while still on the warning list, the players will be suspended from bowling in the tournament – and in any cricket organised by the BCCI – until their actions are cleared.
The reports were made by umpires Kumar Dharamsena, Vineet Kulkarni and Anil Chaudhary, who had officiated in the Dolphins-Lions match. Both bowlers had opened the bowling for their sides and gone on to bowl a full quota of four overs. While Hafeez claimed 2 for 18 as Lions successfully defended 164, Subrayen did not pick up a wicket while conceding 39 runs. Earlier Lions’ Adnan Rasool, another off-spinner, had also been reported. He has continued to turn out for his team.
