Amit Singh reported again

Kimberley: For the second time in the tournament, Rajasthan Royals pacer Amit Singh has been reported for suspect bowling action after the Jaipur-based outfit’s IPL match against Chennai Super Kings at the De Beers Diamond Oval here.

On-field umpires Gary Baxter and Kumar Dharmasena reported the pacer for the second time, citing his suspect bowling action on certain deliveries.

The matter has now been referred by the Indian Premier League (IPL) to the team management of Rajasthan Royals and the IPL’s Technical Committee as per the Laws of Cricket that govern the game, the organisers said in a statement on Sunday.

On the completion of the match, footage was obtained and re-examined by all the three match officials, including TV umpire Amish Saheba, and it was decided that further action was necessary under the Laws of Cricket section 24/ 3 that governs the game.

Amit Singh had earlier been reported by umpires Daryl Harper and K. Hariharan after the Royals’ match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday.
