South Africa spinner Subrayen cited for suspect bowling action
The ICC said match officials reported concerns about the legality of the off-spinner's action during his ODI debut in Cairns on Tuesday where he took 1-46 in the Proteas' 98-run win.
Subrayen must undergo an independent assessment of his action at an ICC-accredited testing facility within 14 days.
He can continue bowling until the results of his test are known.
Bowlers are permitted 15 degrees of elbow extension while delivering the ball.
Reuters contacted Cricket South Africa for comment.
The 31-year-old Subrayen has a record of bowling illegally in domestic and T20 cricket.
He was suspended from bowling in domestic cricket in late-2015 after failing an assessment but was cleared to resume after another test a few months later.
He was also suspended in late-2012 over his action but cleared to bowl again in early-2013 after remedial work.
Subrayen made his test cricket debut last month against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, picking up four first-innings wickets.

Aussie car dealer unleashes explosive claims against his boss as their personality clash turns toxic
A luxury car dealer who claimed his boss bullied him over garlic breath and a breakfast platter has lost his case at the Fair Work Commission. James Gower, a former employee of Barbagallo Motors in Perth, alleged he endured more than a year of unreasonable treatment from his sales manager, James Figueroa, before resigning in September 2024. In formal evidence, Mr Gower alleged the workplace behaviour began in early 2023, escalating to the point where he took personal leave due to depression. Among the alleged incidents were Mr Figueroa spreading false rumours, accusing Mr Gower of smelling of garlic, berating him for the way in which he prepared a breakfast platter and refusing his request for two day's leave with six months' notice. Mr Figueroa denied the allegations. He told the Commission he never said 'you stink' and only asked Mr Gower if he had eaten garlic after receiving a customer complaint about a smell in a confined space. He also denied berating Mr Gower over the food and champagne served to clients, saying it was reasonable to raise concerns given the luxury nature of the dealership's brands including Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce, and the bespoke service expected by their clientele. An external HR consultant, Wendy Jeffrey-Lonnie, found the manager's conduct did not amount to bullying or harassment. She said many of Mr Gower's claims were unsubstantiated or not supported by other staff. Barbagallo Motors said it had offered to move Mr Gower to another role away from Mr Figueroa, but he declined. Mr Gower instead asked for Mr Figueroa to be moved, something the Commission does not have the power to order. Commissioner Paul Schneider dismissed the application, finding that while the relationship between the two men was clearly strained, the evidence did not support a finding of workplace bullying. 'It is not uncommon for strained interpersonal relationships to exist in the workplace, especially between managers and subordinates,' he said. 'However, there is a significant difference between a strained relationship and workplace bullying. 'I have formed the view that the relationship between Mr Gower and the Person Named was at times strained, due to interpersonal differences and conflicting personalities. 'It seems that the Person Named may at times come across too abrasive for Mr Gower. However, I am not satisfied this could be considered more than a lack of personal compatibility rising to the level of bullying.'

Explosive claims emerge about Lisa Wilkinson in court: 'Crafted strategy to maximise the ratings'
Journalist Lisa Wilkinson and Network Ten were trying to fabricate a 'whodunnit' and boost ratings by not identifying Bruce Lehrmann as an alleged rapist, his lawyer has argued. The former federal political staffer - dubbed a 'national joke' by his lawyer on Wednesday - is appealing a civil court finding he raped his colleague Brittany Higgins in parliament house in 2019. The bruising judgment came in April 2024 after Lehrmann sued Ten and Wilkinson for defamation over an interview with Ms Higgins in which she aired the allegations. He was not named in the 2021 broadcast, which Wilkinson has claimed is evidence of how she and Ten acted responsibly when publishing such a serious allegation. But Lehrmann's lawyer contended he wasn't identified because of a plan to provoke a 'buzz' of public scrutiny around the identity of Ms Higgins' alleged assailant. '(It is) viewed as a crafted strategy to maximise the ratings of a story, to achieve an exciting air of mystery akin to a "whodunnit",' Zali Burrows claimed in written submissions for Lehrmann's Federal Court appeal. The 'disingenuous' approach arguably highlighted the 'sensationalism of a complex plot-driven story involving political scandal cover-up of a rape in parliament,' she wrote. 'Although Mr Lehrmann was not specifically named in the program, a sophisticated journalist would be aware when providing enough indica (sic) as to the identity of Mr Lehrmann, is teasing the viewer and inviting greater public engagement and promotion of the story,' Ms Burrows submitted. The trial judge, Federal Court Justice Michael Lee, determined Lehrmann had been identified as the perpetrator of the assault by some viewers, but Wilkinson argues their number was small. Ms Burrows took aim at Wilkinson's defence that she had relied on advice from Ten's legal counsel when preparing the broadcast and a subsequent Logies speech. The journalist was heavily criticised for making the speech in 2022 about Ms Higgins' allegations, which prompted a decision to delay Lehrmann's criminal trial by three months. The trial was later abandoned with no findings against Lehrmann. Wilkinson's speech had been given the green light by Ten's lawyers, the court has been told. But that argument raised the question of whether it was reasonable 'to rely upon legal advice (which) in the face of it is plainly wrong', Ms Burrows wrote. '(The defence) raises the proposition, if a lawyer tells you that you can run a red light, would you do it?' she asked. 'With respect to Ms Wilkinson, a sophisticated highly intelligent and experienced journalist, it appears disingenuous to claim that she would follow the advice of lawyers, notwithstanding it was obviously bad advice.' Justice Lee found the journalist and Ten had acted unreasonably in broadcasting the allegation, in part because they were entwined with claims of a parliamentary cover-up. Ms Higgins claimed she had reported the rape to her superiors at parliament house including her boss, then-senator Linda Reynolds, but little action was taken. But Ms Chrysanthou argued the alleged cover-up should have been considered separately from Ms Higgins' account of sexual assault, because it was not connected to Lehrmann. 'His Honour was distracted by the so-called cover-up when he should have focused on the rape,' she said. The broadcast did not allege there had been a 'cover-up' but rather referred to 'roadblocks to a police investigation', Ms Chrysanthou told the appeal court. Wilkinson and Ten urged the court to uphold Justice Lee's findings that Lehrmann had likely raped Ms Higgins. Among his four grounds of appeal, Lehrmann challenged the definition of rape employed by Justice Lee, contending it was inconsistent with the meaning an ordinary person would understand. He maintains he did not sexually assault Ms Higgins. Lehrmann's appeal hearing had been set down for three days but it finished a day early on Thursday. The appeal judges will hand down their decision at a later date.

Huge change coming for Aussie childcare centres
Mobile phone bans and a rollout of CCTV in childcare centres will head the agenda when state and federal education ministers convene on Friday to discuss sector reforms. Mandatory child safety training and a national register of carers will be on the agenda at a crucial meeting of Australia's education ministers. The federal government is set to table $189million worth of funding over four years to tackle problems in the under-fire sector, describing it as the biggest child safety package the early learning sector has ever seen. Backing up recent tweaks to Working With Children Checks, which made bans nationally applicable, federal minister Jason Clare wants a register that will let regulators see who's working in childcare centres and where. Asked if this would address issues with people failing a Working With Children Check in one state and going to another state to get a job, Mr Clare said work was being done on that issue. 'If we get approval today, work will start immediately,' he told Seven's Sunrise program on Friday. 'We've got to build that (the register) from scratch - we will have to pass laws to make it mandatory for centres to put the information in.' Mr Clare said, if approved, trials would be conducted by December, with a view to rolling out a register from February next year. Along with mandatory training, Friday's meeting is set to tackle a national CCTV assessment, more centre spot checks, a mobile phone ban, and harsher penalties for breaches of standards. It will also consider how parents can be given more information about the condition of childcare centres. Mr Clare said no parent should have to wonder if their kids are safe in childcare. 'We need a national register to ensure we know who is caring for our children, and their work history,' he said. 'We also need mandatory child safety training ... the overwhelming majority of childcare workers are awesome at what they do, caring for and educating our children, they are just as angry as everyone else.' The meeting comes about a month after Melbourne childcare worker Joshua Dale Brown was charged with dozens of sex offences, including allegedly sexually abusing eight children. Brown is known to have worked at 24 facilities between 2017 and the time of his arrest. The government has initiated compliance action against 30 early childhood centres under laws passed by federal parliament in July. Under the changes, funding will be stripped from centres not meeting safety standards. The Working With Children Check changes will mean anyone prevented from holding a check in one state or territory will be automatically banned across the nation. But a national check is not on the cards, with jurisdictions to continue managing their systems. Early Childhood Education Minister Jess Walsh said state and federal governments would act 'shoulder-to-shoulder' to make the sector safer. 'Our investment of up to $189million is the biggest child safety package the early learning sector has ever seen,' she said. Federal opposition education spokesman Jonno Duniam called for state and federal ministers to commit to measures 'that will truly shift the dial in improving child safety'. 'The Albanese government must take up a leadership role in pushing the states and territories to implement reforms, and there must be no delay in their uptake,' he said. 'Bureaucratic hurdles are no excuse for parents who expect safer childcare centres immediately, not by the end of the year or after.'
