Australian spinner Matt Kuhnemann has been given the green signal by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to continue bowling after the global body’s investigation cleared his action. Matt Kuhnemann was temporarily banned from bowling in international cricket after he was suspected for illegal bowling action during Australia’s recent Sri Lanka tour.
The 28-year-old spinner came under scrutiny after the match officials reported his action to the ICC after Australia whitewashed Sri Lanka in the two-match Test series. The left-arm spinner played a crucial role in Australia’s dominant 2-0 Test series win, picking up 16 wickets at an impressive average of 17.18.
