Prenelan Subrayan to undergo testing after reported for suspect bowling action
Subrayan has had a history of issues relating to his bowling action. Here is a summary.
- December 2012: Action was twice deemed illegal by independent tests. It was a tricky situation as Subrayan had suffered a shoulder dislocation. Cricket South Africa (CSA) placed him under rehabilitation, according to ESPNcricinfo.
- September 2014: Action was reported during Champions League T20 tournament in India.
- November 2015: Action was reported during domestic T20 match.
- March 2016: Subrayan was cleared to resume bowling after failing a re-assessment in January 2016.
The offspinner must undergo an independent assessment of his action within 14 days. This will take place at an ICC-accredited testing facility. To pass, Subrayan must prove his elbow extension does not exceed 15 degrees while delivering the ball.
South Africa have left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy whom they can also turn to for the final two ODIs against Australia. These matches will be played at Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay.
