Скачать или смотреть Ashwin Defends Usman Tariq's bowling, social media divided sharply |Sports Today

Usman Tariq once again found himself at the centre of controversy over his bowling action during his side’s second match of the 2026 T20 World Cup against the USA in Colombo. Social media was flooded with “chucking” accusations, with several users also questioning his distinctive “pause-and-deliver” action. This is not the first time Tariq has faced such scrutiny. Earlier this month, during Pakistan’s home series against Australia, Cameron Green appeared to mock his action. However, the spinner has been cleared by the ICC twice last year, and his action remains officially legal. While much of the criticism online centred around alleged elbow extension, veteran Indian cricketer Shreevats Goswami questioned the “pause” in Tariq’s action before release. Drawing a comparison with football, Goswami argued that players are no longer allowed to pause during a penalty run-up and suggested similar scrutiny should apply here.
