Subrayen Reported for Suspect Action

In his ODI debut in Cairns, Subrayen delivered figures of 1‑46, claiming the wicket of Australian opener Travis Head in South Africa’s 98‑run win. However, some officials raised concerns about the legality of the bowling action. This is the third time this concern has been raised with similar incidents in 2012 and 2015.

Under ICC regulations, Subrayen must now undergo an independent assessment at an ICC-accredited testing centre within 14 days to determine whether his action falls within the allowed 15-degree elbow extension limit.

Coach Shukri Conrad, emphasized the strong team backing during this testing phase, calling his team for a supportive approach to ensure Subrayen's well-being away from the spotlight.

Subrayen has a documented history of reporting incidents:

• 2012: Placed under rehabilitation after his action was deemed illegal, then cleared in early 2013.
• 2015: Reported again in domestic cricket, but later cleared.
• 2016: Cleared after assessment at South Africa's National Performance Centre.

Now, despite making his Test debut only recently, against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, his entry into ODI cricket has been overshadowed by renewed scrutiny on his action at the international level.
