Fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain has been banned from bowling due to illegal action
Fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain has been banned from bowling and withdrawn from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) after his bowling action was found to be illegal, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Friday.
Hasnain was first reported during his Big Bash League stint with the Sydney Thunder last month and is set to miss Pakistan`s home series against Australia next month.
Biomechanical testing in Lahore confirmed the 21-year-old breached the 15-degree limit for elbow extension on his “good length delivery, full-length delivery, slow bouncer and bouncer”, the PCB said in a statement.
“Keeping his future and Pakistan`s interest at the forefront, the PCB … has decided he will not be allowed to continue to participate in the Pakistan Super League,” it said.
“Until Mohammad Hasnain clears his reassessment, he will remain suspended from bowling in international cricket.”
The PCB described the bowler as an “asset” citing his ability to bowl consistently at 145 kmph and was optimistic of his return to the game after remodelling his action.
“The PCB has discussed the report with its own bowling experts and is confident that the problem can be resolved.”
“He will use this time to work with the PCB-appointed bowling consultant to modify his bowling action so that he can apply for a reassessment and become eligible to return to international cricket as quickly as practically possible.”
The right-arm fast bowler has been a regular part of Pakistan`s white-ball squads and claimed a hat-trick in a Twenty20 International against Sri Lanka in 2019.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
