The ICC has revealed the result of an independent bowling assessment on the action of Proteas spinner Prenelan Subrayen.

Subrayen had been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action during the first ODI against Australia in Cairns on 19 August.

He subsequently underwent an independent bowling assessment at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane on 26 August, 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.

Subrayen can therefore continue bowling in international cricket.
