Hafeez, who was suspended from bowling in international cricket for thethird time last year and was finally cleared to bowl, raised doubts aboutthe process calling it “suspicious”.
PCB is sending a showcase notice to the all rounder for his interview. “PCBis issuing show cause notice to Hafeez for his ill-conceived remarksagainst icc in an interview to BBC,” said the official.
The 37-year- old in the interview said: “There are so many thingsinfluencing [who gets called for suspect actions], it has a lot to do withthe power of [some] boards and nobody wants to take them on,” Hafeez toldBBC Urdu.
“Mostly there are soft corners and relations between people which no onewants to spoil. What I say is why not implement the rule and get everybowler in the world to go through [the testing process]. What’s thedifficulty in that?”
