Kathmandu, Feb 1 (.) USA’s seam bowler Isani Vaghela has been suspended from bowling in international cricket after the ICC Event Panel confirmed that she uses an illegal bowling action.
The decision followed a report from match officials after Vaghela was observed during the USA’s match against Ireland in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2026, currently being held in Nepal, as per the International Cricket Council (ICC) website.
According to the ICC, the Event Panel reviewed match footage of Vaghela’s bowling action from her subsequent fixture and concluded that it did not comply with the regulations governing bowling actions. As a result, she has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect under Article 6.7 of the ICC regulations.
The suspension will remain in place until Vaghela undergoes a reassessment of her bowling action and is cleared to bowl without using an illegal action.
While suspended, Vaghela will be permitted to continue playing as a batter, provided she does not bowl, in accordance with ICC rules.
