South Africa spinner Subrayen reported for suspect bowling action
'The match officials' report specified concerns about the legality of Subrayen's action,' the ICC said in a statement.
Subrayen picked up 1-46 in his debut ODI against Australia on Tuesday as South Africa romped to a 98-run win to lead the three-match series 1-0.
The 31-year old Subrayen has 14 days to undergo an independent assessment of his bowling action at an ICC-accredited testing laboratory. He is allowed to bowl until the results of his tests are known.
The rule allows a bowler 15 degrees of elbow extension when he delivers the cricket ball.
This is not the first time that the off-spinner has come under scrutiny.
Cricket South Africa deemed his bowling action illegal in 2012 after conducting two separate tests before he was cleared to bowl in 2013 after going through remedial work and his bowling action was re-tested.
He was later reported in 2014 during the Champions League T20 tournament in India and again during a domestic T20 tournament in 2015. He failed in a re-assessment of his bowling action in early 2016, but was cleared after getting clearance from a CSA's High Performance Centre and resumed bowling in March 2016.
Subrayen made his test debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo this year and took four wickets in the first innings.
South Africa is already without its ace pace bowler Kagiso Rabada for the ODI series in Australia due to injury. The Proteas will play the remaining two games at Mackay on Aug. 22 and Aug. 24.

Carlton hold off old rivals to end tough year in style
Carlton have finished off a horror 2025 by holding off Essendon to win their dead-rubber at the MCG by 34 points. Starting the season with hopes of winning their first premiership in 30 years, the Blues finish it six games out of the top eight, but at least with some momentum heading into 2026. In a low-key Thursday night, shunned by free-to-air broadcaster the Seven Network, Carlton withstood a Bombers burst at the start of the last quarter to win 13.12 (90) to 8.8 (56). Essendon had periods where they looked capable of causing a boilover, but were unable to lift enough in captain Zach Merrett's 250th game. Hardworking midfielder George Hewett was superb for the Blues, collecting 36 disposals after having 25 and eight clearances by halftime. Tom De Koning was again influential back in his preferred position in the ruck, in what was likely his last game for Carlton before accepting a monster deal to join St Kilda next season. Sam Walsh starred in his second game back from a long absence due to a foot injury, gathering 28 disposals before being tactically subbed out at three-quarter time. Small forward Francis Evans continued his stunning four-week patch, booting three goals in what could earn him a new contract at Carlton. At his third club after earning a rookie contract earlier this year, Evans has booted 11 goals in his last four games and is starting to look comfortable at AFL level. We need to talk about Francis Evans' end-of-season form 🔥#AFLDonsBlues — AFL (@AFL) August 21, 2025 It was the injury-hit Bombers' 12th-straight loss, and they still need to head to the Gold Coast for the last game of the home-and-away season on Wednesday night. Veteran Dylan Shiel was prolific, without having a huge influence, in what could be one of his last AFL games. It is understood Shiel has not been offered a contract with the Bombers for next year, but the former GWS flyer could explore his options to play elsewhere.

Trevor Manuel appointed as chair of 2027 Cricket World Cup organising committee
Sports minister Gayton McKenzie announced former finance minister Trevor Manuel as chairperson of the local organising committee for the 2027 World Cup at Cricket South Africa's (CSA) headquarters in Melrose, Johannesburg on Thursday. The tournament will be co-hosted by South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe in November and October in 2027. The organising committee will be an autonomous body that will work in parallel with CSA over the next two years to prepare for the tournament of which six-time winners Australia are defending champions. Dr Phumzile Mamlambo-Ngcuka, who was South Africa's deputy president from 2004 to 2008 under president Thabo Mbeki, was also named among members of the committee as an independent non-executive director. '24 years have passed since the last ICC CWC tournament took place on African soil,' said CSA President, Rihan Richards. 'This makes the 2027 CWC a sought-after opportunity to create a unique platform for attracting new fans while engaging existing fans through digital innovation, connecting with the African continent, and the world.' South Africa first hosted a 50-over World Cup in 2003, when they infamously miscalculated the Duckworth-Lewis method in a crucial group stage match against Sri Lanka at Kingsmead, resulting in them losing by a run after a cloudburst passed through Durban. At that time, Kenya and Zimbabwe were co-hosts. CSA Board chairperson, Pearl Maphoshe said: 'CSA's vision is to stage a global, inspiring event which will reflects the face of South Africa - diverse, inclusive, and united. 'The tournament will be vibrantly different in its style and atmosphere, and its experiences. It will provide players, fans and partners with the most unique, unforgettable experience. 'CSA offers its full support to the appointed LOCB and is confident in their ability to successfully deliver on the mandate set, ensuring a seamless and impactful event.' Recently, the Proteas have had better fortunes at World Cups, reaching the semi-finals at the ODI showpiece in India in 2023 and then a maiden final in 2024, when they finished as runners-up to India in the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States.
