AFP[/caption] Brathwaite will now be required to submit to further testing by 14 September. However, he is permitted to keep on bowling in international cricket until the results of his test are revealed. The 26-year-old, who bowls part-time off-spin has been reported in the past as well. His action came under scrutiny in August 2017, but he was later cleared following an independent assessment. Under Article 2.1 of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Code of Conduct, illegal action is defined as “An Illegal Bowling Action is where a player is throwing rather than bowling the ball. This is defined by the ICC as being where the player’s elbow extends by an amount of more than 15 degrees between their arm reaching the horizontal and the ball being released”. West Indies were recently defeated by India 2-0 in the two-match Test series. They had also lost the limited-over series leg against the Men in Blue. They lost 2-0 in the ODIs whereas they suffered a 3-0 defeat in the T20I series.
