Taskin, Sunny’s bowling actions cleared

Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed and spinner Arafat Sunny have been cleared to bowl in international cricket with immediate effect, after their remedied actions were found to be legal by the ICC.

Both bowlers had their actions reassessed at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane on September 8 and their elbow extensions for all deliveries were found to be within 15 degrees, which is the upper limit according to ICC regulations.

‘The umpires are free to report Arafat and Taskin in the future if they believe they use a suspect action,’ the ICC said in a release.
