Quetta Gladiators’ off-spinner Usman Tariq has finally been cleared of his suspect bowling action, ahead of the playoff stages of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10.
His action was reported during his side’s match against Lahore Qalandars on 13 April, which was officiated by on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Chris Brown.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), on Wednesday, confirmed that the off-spinner has been cleared.
“Quetta Gladiators spinner Usman Tariq, who was earlier reported for a suspect bowling action, has cleared his bowling assessment after undergoing testing at the PCB-accredited biomechanics lab in Lahore,” the PCB stated in a press release.
“Usman was reported for a suspect bowling action on 13 April during an HBL PSL X match against Lahore Qalandars.
“Following this, the Quetta Gladiators management requested the PCB to allow the bowler to undergo testing, consequent to which he has cleared the bowling assessment.”
It’s worth noting that Usman Tariq was also reported for a suspected bowling action during last year’s PSL 9.
He played five games in PSL 9, taking only two wickets. Meanwhile, in PSL 10, he has claimed three wickets in two games so far.
