LAHORE, March 9: A five-member bowling advisory panel has been appointed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday. The panel comprised Aaqib Javed, Farrukh Zaman, Iqbal Sikander, Khizar Hayat and Dr Sohail Saleem.

Moreover, the PCB chairman has decided to co-opt former legend Fazal Mahmood as bowling advisor to the illegal bowling action commission, a spokesman of the board said.

The spokesman further said the PCB illegal bowling action commission was convened by its chairman Fakir Aizazud Din and as a long-term planning it had decided to establish a Y-Con biomechanics laboratory for the remedy of illegal bowling actions.

The lab was proposed to be set up at the National Cricket Academy at Qadhafi Stadium. As short-term, the board had decided to install Quintic 9.03, a biomechanical analysis software.

A biomechanical scientist Dr Paul Hurrion was scheduled to visit Pakistan during the third week of April to install the Quintic software and conduct a two- day seminar aiming to instruct and guide the commission and its sub-committees. For the record the action of 37 bowlers had been declared suspect during the current domestic season.
