Australian spinner Matthew Kuhnemann is temporarily banned from bowling in international cricket after being reported for a suspected illegal bowling action. He will undergo biomechanical testing to determine if his action exceeds the allowed 15-degree elbow straightening limit.
Australian left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann has been reported for a suspect bowling action following his five-Test appearances for the national team. This means he is ineligible to bowl in international cricket until cleared by the International Cricket Council ( ICC ). The process involves an independent human-movement specialist, appointed by the ICC , assessing Kuhnemann's action within 14 days.
While Kuhnemann awaits the outcome, he is permitted to continue playing for his state team, Tasmania, and is expected to feature in the upcoming Sheffield Shield match against South Australia. The decision to report Kuhnemann was reportedly made after careful consideration by multiple on-field and television umpires, including Joel Wilson (West Indies), Adrian Holdstock (South Africa), Chris Gaffaney (New Zealand), and Prageeth Rambukwella (Sri Lanka). Former ICC umpire and current franchise tournament official Matthew Wilson emphasized that the report does not imply guilt. He explained that the umpires likely observed deliveries that warranted further investigation, leading to the decision to report Kuhnemann for testing. The testing procedure, which involves 18 cameras and biomechanical analysis of his bowling motion, could take place at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane or overseas. If Kuhnemann is found to have exceeded the 15-degree elbow straightening limit, he will need to modify his action and undergo further assessments before being cleared to bowl internationally. He joins other bowlers like Mitchell Green and Johan Botha who have faced similar scrutiny and eventual clearance. The Cricket Australia (CA) has stated its commitment to supporting Kuhnemann throughout the process and will work closely with the ICC and independent experts
