South African off-spinner Prenelan Subrayen has landed in the news after he was reported for a questionable bowling action on his debut One-Day International (ODI) match against Australia at Cairns on Tuesday, August 19. The match officials' report complained of the illegality of his action during the game, which turned out to be a mixed bag assignment for the spinner. The 31-year-old played his maiden match in the ODI, bowling a full 10 overs quota. He did make an impact by stumping Travis Head, who was attempting to push down the pitch, but with the wicket, there came concerns for his bowling style, leaving his short-term international career in the balance. Subrayen, who recently made his Test debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo earlier this year, showed his potential by taking four wickets during the first innings of that game. His promotion to South Africa's limited-overs squad was considered a reward for consistent performances in domestic cricket. However, the new development will mean that his career will be forced to overcome a significant obstacle, in that he will now have to go through an Independent Assessment at an ICC Accredited Testing Facility to determine the legitimacy of his bowling action.

Having already lost the services of pacer spearhead Kagiso Rabada, who was ruled out of the three-match series with injury, the Proteas now have to contend with yet another setback to their bowling department. Despite of this adversity, the visitors have been able to make a good beginning to the ODI series. Having endured a tough-fought T20I series, which they lost 1-2, the Proteas responded strongly in Cairns with a dominant win in the first ODI. With two further games to be played at Mackay on August 22 and 24, South Africa will look to continue their winning ways while keeping a close watch on the Subrayen situation. His case will be watched closely by the South African camp as well as the wider cricketing world, with the verdict likely to determine his international career.
