A Rajasthan Royals bowler has been reported for using a suspect action in the match against Mumbai Indians on Sunday night. A report out of India says Kevon Cooper was reported for “bowling certain deliveries with a suspect illegal action” during the match. Cooper took 2-38 in his four-over spell. He was reported by on-field umpires, along with the third umpire, after Mumbai’s dramatic win which knocked Royals out of the IPL title race. Cooper is now entitled to have an official assessment from the BCCI Suspect Bowling Action Committee (watch his action from the other night above, although we are not sure which specific balls are under scrutiny). Even if found guilty, Cooper would be available for selection in the next edition of the IPL and only faces suspension from the tournament if he is reported a second time.
