IND vs NZ: ICC suspends Indian player Ambati Rayudu for this shocking reason!

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that Indian player Ambati Rayudu has been suspended form bowling in international cricket. Rayudu was reported for a suspect bowling action during the first ODI against Australia on January 13.

The Andhra Pradesh player has been handed the ball on only nine occasions in his 49 match ODI career and has only 3 wickets under his name in the 50 over format. The ICC gave the news through a press release in which they stated the below mentioned.

The player elected not to submit to a test of his bowling action within the stipulated period of 14 days of being reported for a suspect action, and therefore he has been suspended with immediate effect in accordance with clause 4.2 of the ICC regulations, which can be found here. The suspension will remain in place until he is tested, and can demonstrate he is able to bowl with a legal action.

The 33-year-old India player was reported on 13 January for a suspect action during the first one-day international of their series against Australia in Sydney.

However, according to Article 11.5 of the Regulations and with the consent of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Rayudu may be allowed to bowl in domestic cricket events played under the auspices of the BCCI.
