Mr. Hafeez clarified his recent comments about ICC protocols on bowling action.
The committee accepted Mr. Hafeez’s explanation and asked him to clarify his comments to the media.
Mr. Hafeez made the following statement.
“My intention was not criticise ICC protocols nor did I mention any respected cricket board in my interview.

Unfortunately my comments were misinterpreted and used out of context.”
No further action would be taken on the matter.
