Saqlain Mushtaq was in his times one of the greatest spin bowlers in international cricket. he was the inventor of the Dosra and the best thing about him was that his bowling action was never ever being looked upon as a doubtful one no matter what variation be used to bowl.
Saqlain has worked in the past with Hafeez and Ajmal who both were banned due to the faulty bowling actions. Saqlain has also seen the whole biomechanical process through which the ICC filters the bowling action for the doubtful ones.
Saqlain was today asked about the bowling action of Harbhajan Singh by Dr. Nouman Niaz. Nouman asked a simple question that does Harbhajan has a clear and legitimate bowling action. Saqlain did not give the answer.
He was referring to few things and wanted Nouman and all others who were listening to him to figure out the answer by themselves.
The way Saqlain referred about a few things clearly showed that he was one of those who think that the bowling action of Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh is not legitimate. The bend is higher than the 15 degrees.
The same is the issue with Ashwin. Both Harbhajan and Ashwin bowl action is doubtful but then again who will take action against them. ICC is fully influenced by the BCCI and they don’t take any step to cause a problem in their mutual relationship. This is the real problem and everyone knows about it. BCCI is defending its players and they are doing it with authority.
