Quetta Gladiators’ spinner, Usman Tariq, is under examination for his bowling action again. Umpires Ahsan Raza and Chris Brown reported his action during a recent match. The game took place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium between Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars on Sunday. Despite the report, Usman can continue to bowl in future matches.
If Usman’s action is reported again, he will face suspension. He must obtain clearance from an ICC-approved lab before bowling again. This process aims to ensure fair play in cricket. Usman Tariq’s bowling action was also brought into question last year during PSL 9.
In that previous incident, the Pakistan Cricket Board reported Usman’s action during a match against Karachi Kings. This incident took place on March 6, 2024. Such reports can impact a player’s career and team performance, creating a challenging environment for the athlete.
In the recent match, Lahore Qalandars secured a convincing victory over Quetta Gladiators. They won by 79 runs after scoring 219 runs in their innings. Quetta struggled in their chase, losing wickets at regular intervals. Ultimately, they managed only 140 runs in 16.2 overs.
