The recent scrutiny of Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq's bowling action has sparked a lively debate in the cricketing world. Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has publicly defended Tariq, whose action came under question following Pakistan's victory over the USA in the T20 World Cup. Tariq's performance was pivotal, taking three wickets for 27 runs, contributing to Pakistan's 32-run win. Ashwin, as reported by ProPakistani, emphasized that 'legalities of action can be tested at ICC centre only,' arguing that visual judgment is insufficient for determining the legality of a bowling action. He highlighted the inconsistency in the scrutiny faced by bowlers compared to batters, who are allowed to play unconventional shots without prior notification to umpires.
