Karachi, Nov. 18 (TNS): Pakistan fast bowling great Wasim Akram has advised Muhammad Hafeez to give up bowling and just focus on his batting in a bid to extend his cricket career.

“I think Hafeez should give up bowling now and just concentrate on his batting. Work harder on his batting,” said Akram.

Hafeez’s bowling action was found to be illegal for a third time by the International Cricket Council (ICC) last month and he has been suspended from bowling in international cricket until he clears a biomechanics test.

The ICC decision to suspend Hafeez from bowling came this week after the Pakistan all-rounder failed his bowling assessment test held in England.
