Prenelan Subrayen, an all-rounder for South Africa, has been mentioned for suspect bowling behavior. After Tuesday’s first ODI in Cairns against Australia.
The offspinner dismissed opener Travis Head with a 98-run victory, taking 1 for 46 in his ten overs. South Africa now leads 1-0. Subrayen, 31, made his ODI debut nearly two months after earning his first Test cap in Bulawayo against Zimbabwe.
South Africa hopes Prenelan Subrayen can visit Cricket Australia’s National Cricket Centre in Brisbane. Where Australia’s left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann was tested earlier. This year, to complete an independent evaluation of his action at an ICC-accredited testing facility within 14 days.
When delivering the ball, bowlers are allowed to extend their elbows by 15 degrees. They can keep bowling in matches until the outcome of their test is known. Nevertheless, the team has decided that Subrayen will not participate until he has finished the testing process, South Africa coach Shukri Conrad stated on Thursday.
“I’m free to play,” Conrad replied. Playing is permitted until you are tested.
We simply felt that there was less noise that he was out of the spotlight, that he was safe, and that he had focused on the tests.
Our goal is to have him tested as quickly as possible, and we hope to do it in Brisbane. That works for everyone. We hope to receive it as soon as possible because we are traveling to the UK via Brisbane.
The Subrayen has previously come under fire for his behavior. After two independent examinations determined that his action was illegal. Cricket South Africa (CSA) placed him under rehabilitation in December 2012. In January 2013, he was cleared to bowl once more following retesting and corrective work.
Subrayen was banned from bowling after an assessment of his action found all of his deliveries above the 15-degree restriction in September 2014. During the Champions League T20 event in India and again during a domestic T20 match in November 2015. After his action was certified at the CSA’s High Performance Centre in March 2016. He was eventually allowed to continue bowling after failing a reassessment in January 2016.
Conrad stated he has experienced this technique before. “Never is it simple. He has been waiting a long time to make his debut, but we are supporting him. We’ll take it from there after a lot becomes known next week.
12 balls have been flagged by [the ICC] and sent to us. During the test, he must replicate those 12 balls. In order to motivate him and learn more about how these things operate. We will be sending our bowling coach, Piet Botha, along with him.
