Aussie spin star breaks silence on ICC probe
Kuhnemann's action was under investigation after leading Australia's attack to a 2-0 trouncing of Sri Lanka.
Kuhnemann underwent biomechanical testing in Brisbane to prove his left arm did not bend more than 15 degrees.
It was reported the majority of Kuhnemann's tested deliveries fell under 10 degrees.
Kuhnemann says he is looking forward to putting the process behind him and getting back to playing Sheffield Shield cricket for Tasmania.
'I am very grateful for all the support I have received from my family, friends and teammates and to Cricket Australia who stood by me throughout the process,' he said.
Cricket writer Ben Horne unpacks the shock news that Matthew Kuhnemann has been reported for a suspect bowling action, and what's next for the Aussie spinner.
'It was a disappointing way to finish what was such a successful Test series for Australia.
'I've never doubted my bowling action throughout my career and I'm always looking to improve the art of spin bowling in different conditions.
'I thought the process itself was quite fair and I appreciated the professional manner in which testing was explained to me and then conducted.
'I'm looking forward to finishing the season with Tasmania once my thumb has fully healed and then getting into my off-field preparations.'
Australia does not play another Test until the World Test Championship final in June.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley LIVE updates, how to watch Premier League, score, highlights, stream
The Thomas Frank era officially begins on Saturday (10 am ET), when Tottenham Hotspur host newly promoted Burnley to kick of the 2025-26 Premier League season. WATCH — Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley For live updates and highlights throughout Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley, check out PST's live blog coverage below. How to watch Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 10 am ET, Saturday Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium TV Channel: Peacock Streaming: Stream live on Peacock Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley live updates - by Andy Edwards Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley live score: 3-0 Goalscorers: Richarlison (10', 60'), Brennan Johnson (66') GOAL! Spurs 3-0 Burnley: Johnson gets in behind and dinks it past Dubravka (66') GOAL! Spurs 2-0 Burnley: Richarlison climbs the ladder to score a beauty (60') GOAL! Spurs 1-0 Burnley: Kudus finds Richarlison for the opener (10') Mohammed Kudus tees up Richarlison to get Thomas Frank's Spurs off to a flying start! Spurs starting lineup Vicario - Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence - Gray, Bergvall, Sarr - Kudus, Johnson, Richarlison Burnley starting lineup Dubravka - Sonne, Walker, Ekdal, Esteve, Hartman - Mejbri, Cullen, Laurent, Anthony - Foster Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou as Spurs manager this summer — just weeks after the Aussie delivered the club its first trophy since 2008 — and Tottenham Hotspur legend Heung-min Son decided it was time for him to move on as well, so say it's been a summer of change and transition would be a massive understatement. Cristian Romero has replaced Son as captain and everyone else is back from last season's Europa League-winning team, with the noted addition of Mohammed Kudus ($74 million, from West Ham) in Son's place. James Maddison (torn ACL) and Dejan Kulusevski (knee) are both missing in central midfield, where Frank's options are limited to ball-winners and all-action types. Spurs will be a dangerous counter-attacking and set-piece side this year, if their goals against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup are any indication, and that raises the floor for last season's 17th-place finishers but lowers their ceiling at the same time. Burnley have been plenty busy themselves this summer, preparing for life in the top tier once again. A dozen players have already been signed with transfer fees attached,and it's a baker's dozen if you include Axel Tuanzebe, who signed as a free agent from recently relegated Ipswich Town. Scott Parker's Clarets were promoted back to the Premier League (again) after finishing 2nd last season, their first back in the Championship (again). It marked the 4th straight season that Burnley have either been promoted or relegated, as they yo-yo back and forth, clearly too good for the second tier but also miles off the pace the last time they were in the top flight (24 points from 38 games, relegated by 8 points). Tottenham Hotspur team news, focus OUT: James Maddison (torn ACL - MORE), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Destiny Udogie (knee), Radu Dragusin (knee), Yves Bissouma (disciplinary), Kota Takai (foot) Burnley team news, focus OUT: Zeki Amdouni (knee), Jordan Beyer (knee), Bashir Humphreys (thigh), Manuel Benson (achilles) | QUESTIONABLE: Martin Dubravka (shoulder), Connor Roberts (undisclosed), Zian Flemming (fitness) Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley prediction Based on their Super Cup performance, Spurs are well equipped to knock off some of the 'bigger' sides from around Europe in the Champions League this season, but without Maddison or Kulusevski they're still probably going to struggle when they have lots of the ball and have to break down an organized defense. Spurs 1-0 Burnley. The rout is on at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Brennan Johnson makes it 3-0 for Spurs against Burnley. It's only Matchweek 1, but we already have a goal of the season contender thanks to Richarlison's acrobatic finish to make it 2-0 for Spurs against Burnley.

Daniel Ricciardo Hospitalized After Dirt Bike Crash
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo suffered an injury on Thursday while riding a dirtbike, according to new reports. Thomas Maher of Planet F1 says that the fan-favorite driver was riding his bike when he got injured. He was riding through the Daintree in northern Queensland, and then he was injured and taken to Mossman Hospital in Queensland for treatment. Ricciardo is reportedly feeling good despite the injury, indicating it may not be serious, though there are few details and specifics about what caused the injury. Daniel Ricciardo attends day two of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 01, 2025 in London, England.

Photo by Karwai Tang//Getty Images The Aussie is enjoying life after Formula 1, and he appears happy with not racing at the highest level anymore. Ricciard made his return to the grid over a year ago with Racing Bulls, landing a chance to prove himself for the Red Bull seat once again, but he struggled to make a profound impression. Red Bull ended up choosing Liam Lawson to replace Riccardo at Racing Bulls, effectively finishing his time in the sport. Since his departure, he has not taken a role with another racing series like NASCAR or IndyCar. In a rare public appearance, Ricciardo spoke at Ray White's Connect conference, where he addressed how life after F1 has been going. "Well, I haven't been shaving my face," joked the Honey Badger. "The beard is my comfort right now. "This year has been a bit of self-exploration. I lived this crazy high-speed life for so long, and this year I've sat into a little bit of stillness. "I've had a lot of time, I've done some hiking. I was in Alaska a few weeks ago and didn't get mauled by a grizzly, which was a bonus. "I've been trying to figure out who I am other than this racecar driver. I've come to appreciate the little things more and the meaning of the importance of family and friends. "I've always been driven, and that sometimes leads you to being selfish, so I'm trying to learn to be a bit more selfless and become a better listener." Riccardo was one of the most captivating personalities in the sport, making a name for himself on Netflix's Drive to Survive. The show highlighted his likable personality, which was known around the paddock, though mainstream audiences got to see it firsthand. He won eight races during his career, most of which came with Red Bull, though career mistakes hindered the peak of his powers. The Honeybager left Red Bull right before it ascended and joined Renault, a move which did not pay off. He then opted for McLaren, though he once again didn't find his desired success. If Ricciardo stayed at Red Bull, he would have had a chance to fight for the title, but he never got the opportunity to do so in his career.

Former Australian cricketer, captain and coach Bob Simpson dies at age 89
SYDNEY (AP) — Bob Simpson, a former player, captain and coach and one of the most influential figures in Australian cricket, has died at the age of 89. Cricket Australia on Saturday confirmed the death of Simpson, who represented Australia in 62 tests and two one-day internationals between 1957 and 1978. Simpson scored 4,869 test runs, including 10 centuries and 27 half-centuries, and took 71 wickets, while captaining Australia in 39 tests. Simpson was just 16 when he made his first-class debut for New South Wales state against Victoria. He also coached Australia from 1986 to 1996 and under his firm and steady guidance, Australia won the 1987 World Cup, four Ashes campaigns and in 1995 the Frank Worrell Trophy, ending a 17-year drought against the West Indies. Cricket Australia said the Australian team will pay tribute to Simpson with a moment's silence before Saturday night's one-day international against South Africa at Cairns in northern Australia and will also wear black armbands. Simpson made his test debut against South Africa in Johannesburg in 1957, and his first century came in an Ashes test at Old Trafford in 1964, when Simpson went on to score 311. He is one of only seven Australians to make a triple-century. He was also one of the greatest slip-fielders, taking 110 catches. Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was among the first to pay tribute to Simpson. 'Bob Simpson's extraordinary service to Australian cricket spanned generations. As a player, captain and then era-defining coach, he set the highest standards for himself and the champions he led,' Albanese wrote on X. 'He will be long remembered by the game he loved. May he rest in peace.' Simpson was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2013. 'As a brilliant opening batter, incredible slips fielder and handy spin bowler, Bob was a mainstay of a very strong Australian team in the 1960s, and he became a leader across the game as Australian and New South Wales captain and as a coach." Cricket Australia chairman Mike Baird said in a statement. 'Bob's decision to come out of retirement to successfully lead the Australian team during the advent of World Series cricket in 1977 was a wonderful service to the game, and his coaching set the foundation for a golden era for Australian cricket." ___ AP cricket: The Associated Press
