Sri Lanka's Tharindu Kaushal allowed to bowl off-break in international cricket
The results showed that the level of elbow extension measured for all deliveries bowled was well within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations.
"However, the assessment also revealed that Kaushal’s Doosra was found to exceed the 15-degree level of tolerance and it should no longer be bowled in international cricket,"read a statement issued by the ICC.
Under the ICC Regulations for the Review of Bowlers Reported with Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions, Kaushal will run the risk of being cited again if he bowls the Doosra in an international match.
To assist the umpires, they have been provided with images and video footage of the 22-year-old’s bowling action.
