Jean Padosky of the Philippines has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect after the ICC’s Event Panel confirmed that the fast bowler uses an illegal bowling action.

The 33-year-old was reported by the match officials following his side’s match against Japan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup EAP Regionals final in Papua New Guinea on Saturday.

The Event Panel reviewed match footage of Padosky’s bowling action and concluded that he employs an illegal bowling action and as such, in accordance with Article 6.7 of the regulations, he is suspended from bowling in international cricket.

Padosky’s suspension shall remain in place until such time as he submits to a re-assessment of his bowling action which confirms that he can bowl without using an illegal bowing action.
