Furious Cameron Green makes chucking gesture after Pakistan’s Usman Tariq dismisses him; bowling action sparks uproar

This was not the first time Tariq's action came under the scanner; he had faced questions about it before, and he was even reported for a suspected action in the ninth and tenth editions of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

On both occasions, Tariq underwent official testing at the PCB-accredited biomechanics lab and was cleared, with his action declared legal.

Earlier, the 30-year-old had come out in the open, saying that his action is fully legal as it falls within the ICC's permitted 15-degree elbow extension limit. He also stated he has already undergone two official tests in Pakistan, both of which he cleared.

“I was confident from the beginning that I doesn't throw the ball,” Tariq had said.

Australia were then bowled out for 108, losing the contest by 90 runs. Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan took three wickets each while Tariq scalped one. Green was the top scorer for Australia with a 35-run knock.

Australia and Pakistan will now square off in the third and final T20I on Sunday, February 1 at the same venue.
