Babar Azam bowling action tested in Brisbane

The 22-year-old was banned from bowing when his action was reported during his U19 career

Karachi. Pakistan right-handed batsman Babar Azam had his bowling action tested in Brisbane Australia on Friday.

The former U19 captain Azam, who is in Australia with the Men in Green, travelled to Brisbane from Adelaide to have his action tested as he was banned from bowing when his action was reported during his U19 career, the team management told The Express Tribune.

“Babar’s bowling action has been tested at the ICC biomechanics lab in Brisbane, and the final reports will be given in after a period of 15 days,” said a PCB official.

Babar scored 282 runs against Australia in five ODI matches with a century in the last match at Adelaide.

However, he failed to deliver miserably in the five-day format, and only managed to score 68 runs in six innings. Our Correspondent
