Emerging Pakistani off-spinner Bilal Asif has been reported for doubt on action by International Cricket Council (ICC). According to the media reports, Bilal Asif’s bowling action has been declared suspicious by ICC and Manager of Pakistani Cricket Team, Intekhab Alam has confirmed this report. During the 3rd ODI between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in Harare, umpires have reported that the bowling action of off-spinner Bilal Asif is not according to the regulations. However, Bilal Asif had shown outstanding performance and taken 5 wickets in 3rd ODI against 25 runs.
After this action by International Cricket Council (ICC), Pakistani cricket fans have showed their anger on the dual face of cricket council. They said that the ICC is ruled by Indian lobby and this is the actual reason behind continuous actions against Pakistani cricketers. People on social media have said that the Indian lobby in ICC is jealous of emerging talent in Pakistani cricket and that is why they are using this kind of strategy which is against sportsman spirit. Indian cricketer Ashwin is also off-spinner but ICC has never call him to report.
Bilal Asif another Pakistani hero from Sialkot. I hope he comes out of the allegations soon and prove he deserves the spot and respect.

So #ICC didn't observe #BilalAsif's action in the first match? Because he didn't get 5 wickets in it? ICC's biases are ruining this sport!

It is to be noted that Saeed Ajmal and Muhammad Hafeez had already banned by ICC during the recent months and many believe that Indian lobby has decided to weaken Pakistan Cricket Team.
