Hafeez eager to play dual role in upcoming limited over matches

Author: Agencies

NEW DELHI: Pakistan opener Mohammad Hafeez felt fully fit for the upcoming bowling action test, saying he was keen to play a dual role in limited-over series against England.

The all-rounder revealed he considered his role as a bowler important in the 50-over and T20 formats at the international level.

“I will try to do my best to get my bowling action cleared from the International Cricket Council (ICC) experts so that I can also bowl in the limited over series in England,” Hafeez told the Press Trust of India.

Hafeez, meanwhile, said there is lot of negative propaganda about him in the media and it upsets him when questions are raised about his cricketing credentials.

“Even when I was bowling I had a very good batting record and average. So there is no extra pressure on me as a batsman just because I can’t bowl,” he said.

Hafeez said he was upset with presumptions in the media about his knee injury. “There were doubts raised over the injury when I was ruled out of matches in the World T20 in India. Then there were doubts raised about whether I was fit when I was picked for the England tour.”
