Guyana Jaguars pacer Ronsford Beaton has been suspended from bowling in domestic West Indies matches with immediate effect.
This after cricket West Indies confirmed that the opinion report by an independent assessor at Loughborough University has found his bowling action to be illegal.
The assessment revealed that Beaton’s deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees’ level of tolerance permitted under playing regulations.
Beaton will remain suspended until such time as his action is found to be legal, either by an opinion report from Loughborough University or by an independent analysis from an accredited testing centre, in accordance with the cricket west indies regulations for dealing with suspected illegal bowling actions.
Beaton is expected to undergo remedial work supervised by the Jaguars franchise and can apply for a reassessment after modifying his bowling action in accordance with the regulations.
The 27-year-old Beaton was reported for a suspect bowling action during the Jaguars’ game against the United States last Monday in the regional super50 competition.
His action was cited by match officials after he bowled eight overs for figures of nought for 37 during the game at the queen’s park oval, which the Jaguars won by 13 runs.
