He bowled a combined 23 overs in the one-off Test against Bangladesh in Harare
Zimbabwe’s offspinning-allrounder Roy Kaia has been reported with a suspect bowling action during the one-off Test against Bangladesh in Harare.
Kaia bowled a combined 23 overs across two innings during the match without picking up a wicket.
An expert panel will analyse the video footage of Kaia’s bowling action from the Test as in-person assessment at an ICC accredited testing centre is not possible due to various restrictions resulting from Covid-19.
Kaia is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the expert panel makes its decision known.
Kaia, 29, first played for Zimbabwe in an ODI in Pakistan in 2015, when he was picked more for his batting abilities. That remains his only appearance in while-ball cricket for the country. He made his Test debut earlier this year, also against Pakistan. The Test against Bangladesh was the third of his career.
He has over 100 wickets combined in both first-class and List A cricket but is yet to pick one up at the international level.
