Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez will not be allowed to bowl in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) after the league administration decided to follow the International Cricket Council standards for playing conditions and uphold the ban on the player.

Hafeez is currently serving a 12-month ban for an illegal bowling action and will not be able to apply for reassessment until his suspension ends.

The ICC policy does not allow banned bowlers to bowl in domestic competitions until and unless the home board gives the green signal and keeps the bowler under observation.

Although Hafeez was allowed to bowl in domestic cricket after his ban, the PSL has decided to follow strictly the rules set by the ICC.

“The rules we are following are from the highest standard and we decided to stick with the ICC's ruling against any player,” the PSL management told ESPNcricinfo.

“We understand that Mohammad Hafeez is presently banned and we will endorse the ICC's decision and carry it in the league.
