ISLAMABAD - *Muhammad Hafeez has vowed to bring back the award of world's best all rounder back to Pakistan. *
*He has been permitted to bowl after he cleared the bowling test, the ICC said on Tuesday.*
“Following remedial work and re-assessment, the bowling action of Mohammad Hafeez has been found to be legal and and the off-spinner can now resume bowling in international cricket,” the ICC said in a *statement* link>.
The Match Officials are still at liberty to report Hafeez in the future if they believe he is displaying a suspect action and not reproducing the legal action from the re-assessment.
“I am happy after clearing the bowling test,” said Hafeez. “I will give my 100%, if the selectors give me an opportunity.”
The off-spinner in a tweet thanked the PCB, chairman Najam Sethi and NCA staff for their help and support.
