ICC bans Ambati Rayudu from bowling in international cricket
Dubai, Jan 28 (IBNS): The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday suspended Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu from bowling in international cricket after he opted for non-submission to a test of his bowling action within 14 days of being reported for a suspect action.
The suspension will remain in place until he gets his bowling tested.
The 33-year-old player was reported on Jan 13 for a suspect action during the first One Day International (ODI) of their series against Australia in Sydney.
However, according to Article 11.5 of the Regulations and with the consent of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Rayudu may be allowed to bowl in domestic cricket events played under the auspices of the BCCI.
Rayudu, who is presently in New Zealand, is a right-handed batsman and an occasional bowler. Hence his suspension won't affect the men-in-blue much in the ongoing five-match series against Kiwis.
