Australia defeated Sri Lanka by a score of 2-0 in the two-match Test series. It was a whole team effort, and their left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann made the chase simple. The finger spinner exploited the subcontinental conditions to their greatest potential and wrecked havoc on the Lankan hitters. Targeting deliveries of good length against both southpaws and right-handed hitters, he took 16 wickets in two games.
However, his first-ever tour to Sri Lanka ended badly as he was reported for using illegal bowling. It’s important to remember that Steve Smith took Pat Cummins’ place as Australia’s captain for the tour, therefore the country skipped his services.
When asked about Matthew Kuhnemann’s case with Smith, the veteran said he was shocked that his behaviour had been deemed unlawful.
It has somewhat caught me off guard. Over the course of his eight years as a professional cricket player, nothing has been spoken about him. I’m considering him. He has to go through the procedure right now. We’re sure he’ll go through. Back home, he’ll go through that process. “We hope the best for him,” Smith remarked, as reported by ABC.
In constant communication with the ICC and outside specialists: Cricket Australia
A bowler who extends their elbow more than 15 degrees prior to delivery is breaking the law, according to the uninitiated. Kuhnemann will be subject to biomechanical testing for his actions after being detained for violating this regulation. Following the second Test, Cricket Australia released a formal statement following the spinner’s action.
“The Australian team will assist Matt in resolving this issue after they were informed of the match officials’ referral after the second Test match against Sri Lanka in Galle. Since his 2017 debut, Matt has participated in 124 professional games, including four one-day internationals and five Test matches. The Big Bash League has seen him participate in 55 games since 2018. His action is being questioned for the first time in his eight years of playing professional cricket. “In accordance with ICC regulations, Cricket Australia will maintain close communication with the ICC and independent experts,” CA said.
