Cricket Australia confirmed on Wednesday that International Cricket Council (ICC) match officials cited Kuhnemann over his action after the second Test in Galle.
Australia spin bowler Matt Kuhnemann has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action after his dominant performance in the Test series against Sri Lanka.
Kuhnemann, who made his Test debut in India in 2023, won’t be allowed to play international cricket until his bowling action is cleared by independent experts, although he can play for Tasmania at domestic level.
“The Australian team was notified of the match officials’ referral following the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle and will support Matt through the process of clearing this matter,” Cricket Australia said in a statement.
Kuhnemann starred in Australia’s recent 2-0 Test series win over Sri Lanka but will now have his action investigated.
