ICC suspends Rayudu from bowling due to suspect action

The ICC has suspended India's part-time spinner Ambati Rayudu from bowling over a suspect action.

Rayudu was reported last month following the first match of India's one-day international series against Australia.

The 33-year-old, who has only ever bowled in nine of his 50 ODI appearances for his country, decided not to submit a test of his bowling action within 14 days and has therefore been banned with immediate effect.

"The suspension will remain in place until he is tested and can demonstrate he is able to bowl with a legal action," read an ICC statement.

Rayudu helped India secure an ODI series success over New Zealand on Monday, scoring an unbeaten 40 with the bat in his country's seven-wicket win.
