DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Australian left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann had his bowling action cleared by the International Cricket Council on Wednesday.
Kuhnemann was reported for a suspect illegal bowling action during the second test match against Sri Lanka in Galle earlier this month.
He underwent an independent bowling assessment at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane where it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension for his deliveries was within the allowed limit of 15 degrees.
Kuhnemann played a key role in Australia’s 2-0 sweep of Sri Lanka by claiming 16 wickets at an impressive average of 17.18.
