The International Cricket Council: Ireland’s left-arm spinner Aimee Maguire has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect after an independent assessment confirmed that the left-arm spinner uses an illegal bowling action.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday that Aimee, 18, was reported by match officials for a suspect bowling action during the first ODI of the ICC Women’s Championship series against India at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on January 10, where she picked 3/57 in her eight overs.

“She subsequently underwent a bowling assessment at the ICC Accredited testing centre in Loughborough, United Kingdom, on 21 January, where it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension in her bowling action exceeds the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations.”
