in the right direction
Meanwhile, the list of 20 bowlers - a copy of which is with HT - is expectedly dominated by off-spinners. It may be recalled that on February 6, HT had reported that the list of bowlers with suspect actions was being compiled and 13 bowlers had been identified till then. The bowlers, who were identified by former India captain and the head of BCCI's umpires' wing S Venkataraghavan, underwent a three-week rectification programme under the vigilant eyes of Venkataraghavan and NCA director Dav Whatmore. While some of the bowlers have been cleared, those who still needed assistance are currently stationed in Bangalore.Not only has the BCCI taken the effort to identify players with suspect actions, but has also taken steps to help rectify the problem instead of discarding the players by the wayside ( as was the norm previous;y).
And to top it off, the NCA is finally functioning as a multi dimensional, multi role organization after being dormant for all these years.
Joy!
