The International Cricket Council (ICC)
today announced that Sri
Lanka’s Tharindu Kaushal is permitted
to continue to bowl his stock delivery
(off-break) in international
cricket following an independent
assessment of his action, which took
place at the Sri Ramachandra
University in Chennai earlier this
month.
The results showed that the level of
elbow extension measured for all
deliveries bowled was well within the
15-degree level of tolerance permitted
under the ICC regulations.
However, the assessment also
revealed that Kaushal’s Doosra was
found to exceed the 15-degree level of
tolerance and it should no longer be
bowled in international cricket.
Under the ICC Regulations for
the Review of Bowlers Reported with
Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions,
Kaushal will run the risk of being cited
again if he bowls the Doosra in an
international match.
To assist the umpires, they have been
provided with images and video
footage of the 22-year-old’s bowling
action.
