Pakistans Mohammad Hafeez is set to undergo re-testing on his bowling action. John Henson Jersey . Hafeezs ICC ban for an illegal action expired earlier this month, meaning he is eligible for reassessment. He was suspended for 12 months after twice being found to be over the limit for elbow extension by independent assessors within a two-year period.Hafeez, 35, is currently in England as part of Pakistans tour. Although a knee injury had delayed remedial work on his action, Pakistan are hopeful that he will be able to undergo a re-test at Loughborough after the completion of the second Test, in Manchester. His ban expired on July 17.Final decision on Mohammad Hafeezs test on his bowling action in the ICC-accredited facility at Loughborough shall be taken in the next few days, team manager, Intikhab Alam, said in a statement. Since his recovery from the injury in the right knee that he sustained during the ICC World T20, Hafeez has recommenced remedial work on his bowling action.But owing to the time lost due to injury as well as his concentration on batting practice afterwards, Hafeez has not been able to devote adequate time to the remedial work. In the last couple of weeks however he has resumed working on it at the nets. Hafeez is confident that in the next few days he would be able to present himself for the test.Hafeezs problems with his bowling action first arose in 2014, while playing for Lahore Lions in the Champions League - although the sanction did not apply in international cricket. He was reported again after the first Test against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi, in November of the same year, and his action found to exceed the permitted 15-degree limit. He returned in 2015, after being cleared by a re-test, but was reported once more against Sri Lanka in Galle and subsequently banned from bowling.As per ICC regulations, if a player who has been reassessed and cleared is reported a second time, within two years of the date of commencement of the first suspension, he or she will then receive a minimum suspension of one year, and can apply once more for reassessment afterwards.Speaking before the Old Trafford Test, Pakistans captain, Misbah-ul-Haq, said having Hafeez available to bowl would help his side. Pakistan have been deploying a four-man attack, with only Azhar Alis part-time legspin to fall back on. That could give us a big advantage, Misbah said of Hafeezs potential bowling return, if we have him when the opposition have four or five left-handers. Terrell Brandon Cavaliers Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center. Matthew Dellavedova Cavaliers Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. https://www.thecavalierslockerroom.com/Darius-Garland-City-Edition-Jersey/ . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. CHICAGO -- If Jose Quintana pitched his final game in a Chicago White Sox uniform on Thursday night, then he went out in style.Chris Archer overcame a shaky seventh inning to avoid becoming the majors first 20-game loser since 2003 and lead the Tampa Bay Rays past the White Sox, 5-3.Chicago (77-82) clinched its fourth consecutive losing season under manager Robin Ventura, whose future with the team is uncertain.Quintana turned in another workmanlike performance in his final start of the season, allowing two runs and five hits over six innings.Yeah, Im happy with my year. You know, I get more innings, better ERA, said Quintana, who finished with a 13-12 record, 3.20 ERA and his first All-Star Game selection. My preparation was better this year. More experience.Quintanas name has been mentioned often in trade speculation, as the rebuilding White Sox are expected to be active in the offseason.I dont have control about that, Quintina said. Im here with the Chicago White Sox and I want to be here a long time.The White Sox had their five-game winning streak end despite Carlos Sanchezs two-out, two-run homer in the seventh.(Quintana) has elevated himself into that elite status with a lot of guys in the league, Ventura said. Hes just consistent. (Despite) everything he has been through, a lack of run of support, he continues to go out with just the same attitude and humility and all that stuff that goes with it.Archer (9-19) allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings to help the Rays snap a six-game skid and leave Detroits Mike Maroth as the only pitcher to lose 20 games this century.Honestly, I never let those types of things creep into my mind, Archer said. Its pointless to think about negatives. Im just glad I dont have to answer the question. The team picked me up tonight.Mikie Mahtook hit a solo homer in the fourth off Quintana and doubled and scored in a three-run seventh off Chicagos shaky bullpen.Archer got the first two outs of the seventh, but a walk, Sanchezs homer and Leury Garcias double ended his night. With rain starting to fall, Brad Boxberger got Adam Eaton to ground out with the tying run on.Erasmo Ramirez worked the eighhth amid a steady rain before the umpires called for the tarp. Jordan Clarkson Cavaliers Jersey. After a 35-minute delay, Alex Colome got the final three outs for his 36th save.Eatons groundout to lead off the sixth put Archer over 200 innings for the second consecutive season. But its been nothing like 2015, when Archer was an All-Star and fifth in the Cy Young Award voting.While Archer has pitched better in the second half of the season, hes gotten little support. Tampa Bay scored two or fewer runs in 15 of his 19 losses.Archers five strikeouts gave him 233, second in the AL behind Detroits Justin Verlander. He finished with eight consecutive quality starts and a 4.02 ERA.Alexei Ramirezs RBI single against his former team in the second ended Tampa Bays 41-inning streak of not holding a lead.Ramirez also singled and scored in the seventh as the Rays got to relievers Juan Minaya and Dan Jennings to build a 5-1 lead.SUNDAY SALEVentura had hinted that ace Chris Sales season was over after Tuesdays victory. That changed when the left-hander asked to start Sundays season finale against Minnesota.I think thats a good testament to finishing out the year and doing it right, Ventura said.20-LOSS CLUBMaroth went 9-21 for the 2003 Tigers, who finished 43-119. Before that, Oaklands Brian Kingman in 1980 was the last to lose 20.TRAINERS ROOMRays: In his second game back from a bruised hand, CF Kevin Kiermaier went 3 for 5 and made a running catch of Sanchezs drive with a runner on to end the game. Manager Kevin Cash before the game called Kiermaier the best defensive player in baseball and campaigned for a Gold Glove.White Sox: 2B Tyler Saladino (back) wont play again this season. Weve got to figure out a way to get him right before he heads home, Ventura said.UP NEXTRays: Three games at NL West champion Texas to close the season. RHP Matt Andriese (8-7, 4.34 ERA) faces Rangers RHP Yu Darvish (6-5, 3.53) on Friday night.White Sox: LHP Carlos Rodon (8-10, 4.08) starts Friday night against last-place Minnesota and RHP Tyler Duffey (9-11, 6.18).
