ICC move on suspect bowlers
By Charles Randall
FAR-REACHING measures to prevent bowlers with suspect actions
reaching international cricket are to be introduced next year,
if an International Cricket Council proposal is accepted next
month.
An ICC advisory panel are to be formed to deal with this embarrassing topic, inflamed last winter by the Muralitharan affair
in Australia.
David Richards, the ICC chief executive, admitted: "It has got
serious ramifications, including restraint of trade." The ICC
meet at Lord`s on July 11.
Muttiah Muralitharan, the Sri Lanka off-spinner, was no-balled in
two matches by Darrell Hair, the Australian umpire, with no ICC
machinery available to placate an indignant management.
