Australian left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann has been reported for a suspect bowling action following the recently concluded Test series in Sri Lanka. The 27-year-old played a key role in the series, taking 16 wickets across two matches in Galle. As per ICC regulations, Kuhnemann will now have to undergo independent testing at an ICC-accredited center. The assessment is expected to take place in Brisbane, where experts will determine whether his bowling action exceeds the permitted 15-degree flex limit. Despite the report, Kuhnemann is allowed to continue playing domestic cricket while the testing process is underway. If his action is deemed illegal, he will be required to undergo remedial work and prove that the necessary corrections have been made before he can bowl again in international cricket. A Cricket Australia spokesperson confirmed the development, stating that the team was notified after the second Test in Galle. The CA spokesperson said, "The Australian team was notified of the match officials' referral following the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle and will support Matt through the process of clearing this matter. Matt has played 124 professional matches since his debut in 2017, including five Test matches and four One-Day Internationals. He has played 55 Big Bash League games since 2018. This is the first time in those eight years of professional cricket that his action has been questioned. Cricket Australia will liaise closely with the ICC and independent experts in line with ICC regulations. No further comment will be made by Cricket Australia or Matthew until the matter is resolved."

Over the years, he has played five Test matches, four ODIs, and 55 Big Bash League (BBL) games. Kuhnemann’s performances in Sri Lanka drew praise from veteran spinner Nathan Lyon, who hailed him as Australia’s best bowler in the series. The duo combined to take 30 of the 40 wickets in Australia’s 2-0 series win. The left-arm spinner’s determination was evident even before the tour, as he made a speedy recovery from a thumb injury sustained during the BBL earlier in the year. Cricket Australia has assured full cooperation with the ICC and independent experts during the investigation. Until the matter is resolved, neither the board nor Kuhnemann will make further comments. With 25 wickets in just five Test matches at an average of 22.20, Kuhnemann has shown great promise in his short career. However, his immediate future now hinges on the results of his bowling action assessment.
