Dubai *February 17, 2016: Lahore Qalanders player Kevin Cooper has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action during last night's HBL Pakistan Super League Twenty20 game against the Quetta Gladiators at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

Kevin Cooper was reported by match officials at the conclusion of the match.


Mr. Cooper has now been placed on the warning list and may continue to be selected to play and bowl for his team in a PSL match.


Under the PSL Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, if a player is reported while on the warning list, the player shall be suspended from bowling for the remainder of the PSL tournament and from bowling in any matches organized by the PCB until such date as he is cleared or upon conclusion of any ineligibility period.

A player suspended from bowling may continue to be selected to play in matches, however, he will not be entitled to bowl.

If suspended under the PSL Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, Mr. Cooper will have to go through the rehab process made applicable by the West Indies Cricket Board.*

Laws for* reporting of bowlers for illegal/suspect bowling action in PSL:


Under the PSL playing conditions with regard *to reporting of bowlers for suspect bowling action the following applies:

1.Any bowler reported for suspect or illegal bowling action by the match officials for the first time in any PSL match would be warned by the match referee in consultation with the on field umpires.

2.Any bowler, who has been called or reported for suspect or illegal bowling action for the first time in any match, may be allowed to continue to bowl in the remaining matches of PSL.

3.In case the same bowler is reported again by the match officials/referee in any of the remaining matches after having been called for the first time, such bowler will not be allowed to bowl again in the remaining matches of the PSL.

In case of a reported player belonging to Pakistan; he will have to go through the rehab process under the*IBARC set up for this purpose by PCB. In case of any bowler belonging to other countries than Pakistan is reported, he will have to go through the rehab process made applicable by his respective cricket board.

I was talking to a friend about his action last week too :))

It looked pretty poor yesterday and I was surprised it wasn't picked up on earlier than it has, especially in the IPL.

He was reported for suspect action in the IPL two years ago and so nobody picks him up anymore. I was a little surprised when he got picked in the PSL, especially since he hasn't even remodeled his action.
 
While his action is bad to say the least but it has always been like this , no point getting him over and than reporting him in the first season , could have done without the headlines , also aleem dar needs to concentrate more on his decision making on the field ,him and that shozab raza dude have been very poor.

Ah Okay. Yeah surprised too. No doubt he'll either be dropped now or will get banned. Not good either way.
 
Which umpires was it?
Should have just left it. Last thing we need is players going off psl
 
Yesterday I said in the match thread he was chucking 30 degrees atleast.

He surely ain't gonna clear this test if he is asked to replicate his in match action.
 
Atleast Ajmal was lethal while he was chucking.. :afridi
 
Fast bowlers get away with it.

Al-Amin had a similar action and they cleared him. Can't believe it.

He will get cleared too if he goes to the test. Personally speaking, his action has more degrees than a class of post-graduate doctors.
 
I reckon this why he never played for WI, otherwise given his record you would think he would have played at least a few international games
 
What Happened to him? Where is he?

I think these days he is only limited to playing in CPL and I think he featured in last CPL too. I believe other leagues i.e. PSL, BPL have stopped to pick him as his bowling action keeps getting reported. Anybody else, any more lights to shed on ?

He was a good bowler when he came in. Played for Rajasthan Royals.

Don't think he played last year's CPL.

You're right, my mistake. Just checked, he last played official T20 on CPL 2018 final. On checking more found out that after missing out on CPL 2019 draft, he retired and became TKR bowling coach.
