Phangiso’s bowling action cleared

THE independent reassessment of the bowling action of Highveld Lions’ left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso has found that his action for all deliveries is within the parameters as laid down by the International (ICC) regulations and his suspension from bowling in CSA competitions is thus lifted with immediate effect.

Phangiso’s bowling action was reassessed on Monday.

The Independent Assessment has found that Phangiso’s action is within the parameters contained in the Regulations for the Review of Bowlers Reported with Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions policy.

“It’s a huge relief to be cleared and to have my bowling action passed, it has been a tough and challenging few weeks for me,” he said.

“Many thanks to Cricket South Africa and the Proteas management for their support and for giving me the best opportunity of making it to India for the ICC World T20.”
