South Africa spinner Prenelan Subrayen, who was reported for an illegal bowling action in the first One-Day International of the three-match series against Australia last month, has been cleared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Sunday.
Subrayen underwent an independent bowling assessment at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane on August 26.
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 featured in two international outings for the Proteas, both of which came this year – a Test in Zimbabwe and an ODI in Australia, taking five wickets in total.
During South Africa’s tour of Australia, the visitor lost the T20I series 1-2 but won the subsequent ODI series, with Subrayen picking up a wicket in the first ODI.
