Media release

The USA’s Isani Vaghela has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect after the ICC’s Event Panel confirmed that the seam bowler uses an illegal bowling action.

Vaghela was reported by the match officials following her side’s match against Ireland in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2026 in Nepal.

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

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