Bosisto suspended from bowling

William Bosisto, the Western Australia batsman and part-time offspinner, was found to have an illegal action and has been suspended from bowling in Cricket Australia competitions.

He was reported by the on-field umpires at a Futures League match at home against Victoria on October 30 and was tested in Brisbane under the board's Doubtful Action Procedure.

"Analysis conducted at the Bupa National Cricket Centre found that all of Bosisto's tested offspin deliveries were in excess of the allowed 15-degrees of elbow extension and therefore the bowler was deemed to have an illegal bowling action," a CA press release said.

Bosisto, 21, can resume bowling only after passing another analysis, which he can request for in another 90 days. However, he can continue playing as a batsman. That was how he had caught they eye during the Under-19 World Cup in 2012 when he led Australia to the final and was their top-scorer in the tournament. He made his first-class debut in the last Sheffield Shield season and has played three matches, in addition to a List A game.

Cricket Australia has been stringent against suspect actions and had suspended Cameron Gannon in April 2013, however the Queensland seamer cleared a subsequent test and has since returned to bowling.
