IND vs PAK: Usman Tariq’s Bowling Action Cleared by ICC Ahead of t20 Clash
T20 world cup India-Pakistan Match:
The india vs pakistan t20 world cup match is scheduled for february 15 at the Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
Ahead of the game, discussion has intensified around pakistan spinner Usman Tariq’s bowling action.
Captain salman ali Agha Speaks Out:
Pakistan captain salman ali Agha addressed the controversy, stating the matter should be put to rest.
He emphasized that the ICC has examined Tariq’s action twice, and both times it was found legal and compliant with the rules.
Tariq has been accustomed to scrutiny since the start of his career and is unfazed by external noise.

Pakistan’s Spin Options:
Besides Tariq, pakistan fields spinners Mohammad Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed, and Saim Ayub.
India counters with varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, and kuldeep yadav, forming a strong spin trio.
The Premadasa pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, favoring spinners.
Tariq’s unique action and variation in pace could be crucial in challenging the indian batsmen.
Details of Tariq’s Bowling Action:
Tariq’s elbow cannot fully straighten, drawing comparisons to Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan.
Experts suggest the real factor is his rhythm and run-up, including a pause before the crease that can disrupt batsmen’s timing.
His deliveries include carrom balls and skidding balls, adding an element of confusion for opponents.
Tariq’s Threat to India:
India has won matches in the tournament but has shown vulnerability against spin.
Tariq impressed after missing the first match, taking three wickets against the USA, showing he is in form for a big game.
The India-Pakistan clash always carries high pressure and excitement, with all eyes on whether Tariq can strangle India’s batting with his mystery spin.
Key Takeaway:
With ICC clearance and a unique bowling style, Tariq could be a key factor in Pakistan’s spin strategy.
The match may heavily depend on spin performance, making Tariq’s variations a potential game-changer.
