Australian power-hitter Marcus Stoinis will not be formally sanctioned after questioning the legality of Mohammad Hasnain's action during a match in The Hundred.

Stoinis was removed by Hasnain during the contest between Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles and on his way back to the pavilion, the Aussie mimicked Hasnain's bowling action as throwing.

This is not the first time Hasnain's bowling action has come under fire as he was previously suspended from bowling during the BBL. According to the information, the match official Dean Cosker spoke to Stoinis but no action will be taken against him.

Hasnain has already undergone an action remodeling, which was cleared by the PCB and the ICC. This is primarily the reason why the youngster is being targeted once again.

However, no repercussions for Stoinis sets a dangerous precedent -- one which might be exploited by others in the future.

The youngster has already played three matches in The Hundred where he picked up three wickets and in all of those three fixtures, his action was not reported by the umpires either.
