Indian middle-order batsman Ambati Rayudu has been suspended from bowling in international matches by the International Cricket Council (ICC), a press release from the international cricket governing body said on Monday (28 January).
The 33-year old was reported for suspected action during the first of the three-match One Day International (ODI) series against Australia in Sydney. He was then supposed to submit a test of his bowling action within 14 days, but has failed to do so.
The ICC has hence suspended him with immediate effect under Clause 4.2 of the ICC regulations. The suspension will remain until he is tested and is able to demonstrate that he can bowl legally.
The Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings player will, however, be able to bowl in both domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL).
