Hafeez's action was reported last year in November after the first Test match against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi, with the all-rounder failing to pass two unofficial bio-mechanics test after that.

Hafeez was the second Pakistani offspinner, after Saeed Ajmal, to be suspended for an illegal action last year.

After failing two unofficial bio-mechanics tests, the all-rounder was due to undergo an official assessment on Feb 16 in Brisbane but a calf muscle injury prevented him in doing so and also resulted in him missing Pakistan's World Cup venture in Australia.

But Hafeez was finally cleared to bowl in international cricket again on April 21, after more tests on his action in Chennai.

Take a look: Hafeez overjoyed as bowling action cleared by ICC.

According to ICC rules, Hafeez now has 21 days to go through an official test to determine the legality of his bowling action. Until the outcome of the test, he can bowl in international matches.

However, since this is the second time he has been reported in a year, if his action is found illegal, the offspinner could face a one-year bowling ban.
