If the player is found to have bowled with an illegal action during the independent analysis then she will be suspended from bowling until she undertakes remedial action and is reassessed,” it added. However, Pradhan is free to continue bowling until the receipt of the report of the independent analysis by the BCCI. The 25-year-old has played six ODIs, taking five wickets. Pradhan has six Twenty20 scalps to her credit in four matches. PTI
