It seems as if the ICC scanners are only able to catch Pakistani bowlers
LAHORE: After Saeed Ajmal, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has also banned all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez from bowling in international cricket due to a suspect bowling action. It seems as if the ICC scanners are only able to catch Pakistani bowlers. Why weren’t these bowlers banned when they came on the scene, why now?
The only conclusion that many Pakistani fans can reach here is that as the World Cup is round the corner, any international body that is biased against Pakistani cricket would take such a step. The Pakistan Cricket Board, as always, does not know how to react to such a situation. In this murky business of banning bowlers, I wonder who is next in line: Yasir Shah or Zulfiqar Babar or someone else.
