Quetta Gladiators’ Usman Tariq clears bowling action

Quetta Gladiators spinner Usman Tariq, who was reported for a suspect bowling action in the PSL 10, has cleared his bowling assessment.

The spinner underwent testing at the PCB-accredited biomechanics lab in Lahore, as per a statement by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

The right-arm spinner’s bowling action was reported during the side’s clash against Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on April 13.

However, Usman Tariq was allowed to bowl in the PSL 10, as the PCB rules state. “If he is reported again, he will be suspended from bowling and will need to obtain clearance from an ICC accredited lab before he can resume bowling”, the statement added.

Following the development, the Quetta Gladiators management requested the PCB to allow the bowler to undergo testing.
