Australia’s Matt Kuhnemann, who took 16 wickets in the recent Test win against Sri Lanka in Galle, has been reported for a suspect bowling action.
According to Code Sports, Kuhnemann’s action was questioned during his impressive outings, which will now force him to undergo a mandatory bowling action analysis test within three weeks.
The incident marks the first time the Queensland bowler’s action has come under scrutiny since his professional debut in 2017.
“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,” Cricket Australia spokesperson said. (Newswire)
