Raipur: Having faced the heat of 'chucking' himself, all-rounder Muhammad Hafeez today termed teammate and ace spinner Saeed Ajmal's suspension for illegal bowling action as a "difficult thing not only for Pakistan but for the entire cricket".

"This is a tough thing not only for Pakistan but for rest of the cricket as he is a number one bowler. It's too early to comment on this as PCB is looking into the issue," said Hafeez in a reply to query on Ajmal's suspension over chucking.
