Dubai: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday confirmed that the bowling action of Australia spinner Matthew Kuhnemann has been found to be legal, and the player can continue bowling in international cricket.
Kuhnemann, who bowls left-arm spin, had been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action during the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle that ended on February 9.
He subsequently underwent an independent bowling assessment at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane on February 15, 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.
