CAIRNS: South Africa faced an early setback in their ongoing tour of Australia after off-spinner Prenelan Subrayen was reported for a suspect bowling action during the first ODI in Cairns on Tuesday, August 19.<\/p>\n
According to the match officials\u2019 report, concerns were raised regarding the legality of Subrayen\u2019s action.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old was making his ODI debut, delivering a full quota of ten overs and claiming the crucial wicket of Travis Head, who was stumped while attempting to charge down the crease.<\/p>\n
Subrayen had earlier made his Test debut this year against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, where he impressed by taking four wickets in the first innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He will now undergo an independent assessment of his bowling action at an ICC-accredited testing facility.<\/p>\n
This development comes as another blow for the Proteas, who are already without pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada, sidelined from the three-match ODI series due to injury.<\/p>\n
Despite the setback, South Africa began the ODI leg on a positive note, securing a confident win in the first match to take a 1-0 lead, following their narrow 1-2 defeat in the T20I series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The remaining two ODIs are scheduled in Mackay on August 22 and 24.<\/p>\n
