Azher Mahmood and IBARC comprising Ali Zia, Sajjad Akber, Salim Jaffer and Aleem Dar would then work with Mohammad Hafeez under the guidelines, given by Paul and Carl for correctness of his bowling action, he added.

"The committee would also perform periodical testing at PCB Biomechanics lab at LUMS university in Lahore to make it sure that the bowling action of Hafeez is well within the allowable benchmarks before recommending that he may be sent for re-testing at any ICC accreditation biomechanics lab," he asserted.

He said the above plan has been discussed with Mohammad Hafeez, who has agreed to follow it up after having gone through his initial assessment on his bowling action in England.
