WELLINGTON: West Indies right-arm fast bowler Ronsford
Beaton will undergo testing for a possible illegal bowling action after
being reported by match officials in New Zealand.
Beaton
was reported after the second ODI between West Indies and New Zealand in
Christchurch on Saturday, the 25-year-old’s second ODI.
In
a statement Sunday, the International Cricket Council said Beaton’s
bowling action will be scrutinised further under its process relating to
suspected illegal actions. He is required to undergo testing within 14
days and will be allowed to continue bowling until the results are
known.
If his action is deemed to be illegal by an
accredited ICC testing center, Beaton will be suspended from bowling
until it has been modified.
New Zealand scored 325-6 and
dismissed West Indies for 121 in 28 overs to win the second ODI by 204
runs. Beaton took 1-60 in his eight overs.
