Proteas women’s off-spinner Raisibe Ntozakhe has been cleared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to resume bowling in international cricket after her suspension.
The ICC announced on Thursday morning that after remedial work and reassessment, Ntozakhe’s bowling action has been found to be legal and as a result she can resume bowling.
Eastern Cape Iinyathi cricket coach and ex Proteas spinner Paul Adams talks about the rebirth of Border Cricket and how it is providing an opportunity for more players to get exposure to the top level of the game in the all-new CSA T20 Knockout competition during the Covid-19 pandemic and the future of non-racial cricket in South Africa following his explosive revelations at Cricket South Africa's Social Justice and Nation-Building hearings.
Ntozakhe was suspended from bowling in international cricket after being reported during an ICC Women’s Championship ODI against the West Indies in Barbados on September 16 2018.
Ntozakhe’s remodelled bowling action was assessed at the University of Pretoria (UP) earlier this month where it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC illegal bowling regulations.
“Match officials may still report Ntozakhe if they believe she is displaying a suspect action and not reproducing the legal action from the reassessment. To assist the match officials, they will be provided with the report, images and video footage of the bowler’s legal bowling action,” explained the ICC.
