USA allrounder Isani Vaghela has been suspended from bowling in international cricket after the ICC found her action to be illegal.
The ICC’s Event Panel reviewed footage of Vaghela’s bowling in USA’s next game, a win against Papua New Guinea, and concluded that her action was illegal.
Her suspension will remain until she corrects her bowling action and appears for a reassessment.
Vaghela, a 20-year old medium pacer, had made her T20I debut in 2021 and played her first ODI in 2024. She has played 39 T20Is and taken 31 wickets, and has four wickets in six ODIs so far.
USA finished the Super Six stage of the qualifying tournament with one win, and failed to make the cut, with Bangladesh, Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands qualifying for thewomen’s T20 World Cup in June-July in England and Wales.
