Uwase Suspended From Bowling In International Cricket

By

Rwanda’s Geovanis Uwase has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect after the Event Panel of the ICC Under19 Women’s T20 World Cup confirmed that she uses an illegal bowling action.

The Event Panel comprises members of the ICC Panel of Human Movement Specialists.

Uwase was reported by the match officials during Rwanda’s match against Pakistan on 15 January, with footage captured during their match against Zimbabwe on 17 January and shared with the Event Panel for review.

The assessment was carried out in accordance with clauses 3.5 and 4.7 of the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations. The Event Panel concluded that Uwase employed an illegal bowling action and, as such, in accordance with the regulations, she is immediately suspended from bowling in international cricket.

The suspension will remain in place until such time as she submits to a re-assessment of her bowling action which confirms that she can bowl without using an illegal bowling action.

Cricket came to South Africa during the Napoleonic Wars and with the British forces occupying South Africa. The first match recorded was in 1808 in Cape Town between two service teams, for a prize of one thousand rix-dollars.

The oldest cricket club in South Africa is the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club, founded in 1843. Few clubs in the world can boast such a long existence. The first championship was held in Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha) in 1876 for the “champion bat.” Competing teams were Cape Town, Grahamstown, King Williams Town, and Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha). It was won by King Williams Town and the year after that too.
