Offspinner Bilal Asif reported for suspect bowling action

Match authorities have reported promising new Pakistan offspinner Bilal Asif for suspect bowling action, a day after he assisted Pakistan with cruising to a 2-1 arrangement triumph over Zimbabwe in the third ODI in Harare.
Bilal's activity was accounted for after match authorities inspected video footage of the offspinner from the third ODI in which Pakistan traveled to a seven-wicket win.
The news comes as a hit to the Pakistan team after the promising bowler and all-rounder turned out to be just the fourth spinner to dismiss five or more batsmen in an ODI with no assistance from other fielders. 
Bilal made his presentation on October 3 and got 5 wickets for 25 keeps running in just his second match, the third best rocking the bowling alley figures by a Pakistan offspinner in ODIs — just behind Saqlain Mushtaq's 5 for 20 in 2000 and Saeed Ajmal's 5 for 24 in 2013. 
Pakistan held Bilal for the Zimbabwe ODI series to assess his accreditations in front of a Test arrangement with England and to fill the crevice left by Mohammad Hafeez, who has been banned for one year for an illegal bowling action.
