The ICC received a report from the umpires and match referee after Wednesday's limited-overs match between Pakistan and West Indies in Brisbane.

Under the ICC's regulations, Hafeez must spend the next six weeks with a biomechanist to identify and correct any flaws in his action but will be allowed to play during that time.

The ICC is considering changing its rules on suspect bowling actions by adjusting the degree at which bowlers can straighten their arm. A decision is expected when the council meets in Melbourne next month.
