Former Pakistan cricket boss Nasim Ashraf laments that a failure to have a proper system to deal with bowlers having suspect actions had led to the loss of ace spinners Saeed Ajmal and all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez.
Ashraf said that it was a great loss to lose bowlers like Ajmal and Hafeez, adding that though they had invested in the bio-mechanic lab in 2007, the board changed the next year and the lab couldn’t get operative, Sport24 reported.
He further said that chucking was very common phenomenon in Pakistan cricket as there was no testing lab, adding that if it had been there, they wouldn’t have lost Ajmal and Hafeez before the World Cup.
Commenting on the suspension of Ajmal, he said that it would be tough for him but believes that he wouldn’t give up easily as he had a strong will to stage a comeback.
