Update on Prenelan Subrayen’s bowling action
After having come under the scanner last month, Prenelan Subrayen has been cleared to bowl by the ICC.
South Africa spinner Prenelan Subrayen, who was reported for an illegal bowling action in the first game of the ODI series against Australia played last month, has been cleared by the world’s cricket governing body.
Subrayen underwent an independent bowling assessment at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane on August 26, where it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension for all his deliveries was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations.

With his action deemed legal, Subrayen can continue to bowl in international cricket.
The off-spinner has thus far featured in two international outings for the Proteas, both of which came this year - a Test match in Zimbabwe and an ODI in Australia. Subrayen will now look to add to his five international scalps.
During South Africa's tour of Australia, they lost the T20I series 1-2 but won the subsequent ODI series, with Subrayen contributing with a wicket in the first ODI.
