Kamran reported for suspect action

PRETORIA: Rajasthan Royals pacer Kamran Khan has been reported for suspect bowling action and the issue has been referred to the team management and the Technical Committee of the Indian Premier League.

After the Royals match against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday, the on-field umpires Rudi Koertzen and Gary Baxter felt Kamran had a suspect action in certain deliveries. After examining footage from the match, the umpires felt further action was necessary.

The matter has now been referred to the Royals management and the IPL Technical Committee.

“I have officially received a copy of the umpires’ report duly signed by all the three umpires (including the TV umpire) and the video footage for the game at the Centurion,” IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi said.

“Kamran is a young man with a great work ethic and a huge appetite to learn. With these attributes in mind, we are confident that this issue will be resolved very quickly,” Warne said. — PTI
