ICC clears Subrayen’s bowling action
Dubai, 7 September 2025:
South Africa off-spinner Prenelan Subrayen has been cleared to bowl after undergoing an independent assessment of his action, the International Cricket Council said Sunday.
Subrayen was reported for a suspected illegal action during the opening ODI against Australia last month. He was tested at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane on Aug. 26, where officials found his elbow extension on all deliveries was within the 15-degree tolerance allowed under ICC regulations.
The 30-year-old has played two internationals this year, a Test in Zimbabwe and an ODI in Australia, and has taken five wickets for South Africa. He claimed one of them in the ODI series opener against Australia, a series the Proteas went on to win 2-1 after losing the preceding T20s.
With his action deemed legal, Subrayen is free to resume bowling in international cricket.
