#5 Sachitra Senanayake (Sri Lanka)
Trending
It came as a major blow to Sri Lankan cricket, when Sachitra Senanayake was banned from bowling in international cricket in July 2014. Lot of Sri Lankan hopes rested on this mystery off-spinner as he was the most successful and economical bowler for them in the one-day series against England in 2014.
He was booked for breach of the 15-degree elbow extension permitted under ICC rules. The 29-year-old had made 51 appearances since his debut in January 2012, becoming a regular in the side before this incident in 2014. In the series against England, he claimed eight wickets for 100 in the series at an economy rate of less than four per over. He contributed to World T20 and Asia Cup victories as well.
He changed his bowling action and went more side-on. He was cleared in December last year, ahead of Sri Lanka’s New Zealand tour. However, he surely has lost the efficiency or is maybe not willing to experiment anymore, fearing suspension.
