Sri Lanka has identified 85 school cricketers bowling with suspected illegal actions in its campaign to clean up the sport at the grassroots in the country.
Sri Lanka Cricket announced in a statement on Thursday that the bowlers identified included 60 spinners and 25 seamers.
The campaign comes amid tough action by the International Cricket Council to eliminate illegal bowling on the international stage.
Off-spinners suspended in recent months include Pakistan star Saeed Ajmal, Sri Lanka’s Sachithra Senanayake, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, Zimbabwe’s Prosper Utseya, and Bangladesh’s Sohag Gazi. - smh
