Ian Healy has warned that the scrutiny over Matthew Kuhnemann’s bowling action may linger. The left-arm spinner was reported for an illegal bowling action during the second Test against Sri Lanka last month. His action has now been deemed to be legal, and he will continue to bowl in international cricket. Healy: \”If he comes to bowl, what are you going to look at? That’s the bit that sticks, everyone will be looking now\” The 28-year-old underwent an independent bowling assessment at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane, 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. He said that he had never doubted his action throughout his career and appreciated the transparent process. He is looking forward to finishing the season with Tasmania once his thumb has fully healed and then getting into his off-field preparations, he said. The match between Australia and Sri Lanka at the Ageas Bowl ended in a draw.
