Australia’s Matthew Kuhnemann under scrutiny for suspect action
Australian bowler Matthew Kuhnemann has been reported by match officials for suspected bowling action following the second Test match against Sri Lanka in Galle. Kuhnemann will undergo assessment in order to determine whether his action is legal or illegal. Kuhnemann, meanwhile, is free to bowl in domestic cricket but he won’t be able to continue bowling at international level.
"The Australian team was notified of the match officials' referral following the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle and will support Matt through the process of clearing this matter," CA said in a statement.
"Matt has played 124 professional matches since his debut in 2017, including five Test matches and four One-Day Internationals. He has played 55 Big Bash League games since 2018.”
"This is the first time in those eight years of professional cricket that his action has been questioned.”
"Cricket Australia will liaise closely with the ICC and independent experts in line with ICC regulations. No further comment will be made by Cricket Australia or Matthew until the matter is resolved."
This is the first time that Kuhnemann will be facing scrutiny for his action since starting his career back in 2017.
