The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Sunday confirmed that the bowling action of South Africa spinner Prenelan Subrayen has been found to be legal, and the player can continue bowling in international cricket.
Subrayen had been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action during the first ODI against Australia in Cairns on 19 August.
