CAPE TOWN: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that the bowling action of West Indies off-spinner Kraigg Brathwaite has been found to be legal, and the player can continue bowling in international cricket.
The 24-year-old Brathwaite underwent an independent assessment at the Loughborough testing centre in England on Aug 31. At the assessment, it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension in all of Brathwaite’s deliveries was well within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations.
Brathwaite was reported during the first Test against England played at Edgbaston from Aug 17 to 19.
Brathwaite as opening batsman has taken 12 wickets in 40 Tests with career-best figures of 6-29.
