First phase of bowling analysis done

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) completed its first phase of analysing the actions of certain bowlers yesterday.

Head of the BCB's bowling review committee Jalal Yunus explained to reporters the step-by-step process followed by the committee.

“We have completed recording the bowling footage of around 10 bowlers using six cameras. Next, we are going to analyse those problems and further observe their bowling actions since it's easier to do that with the help of a camera rather than watching and judging the bowlers with the naked eye,” said Jalal.

Apart from the 10 bowlers reported during the DPL, Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed's action was also recorded yesterday in order to get a better idea about the status of his action before sending him for reassessment.

“After the analysis, the bowlers who don't have issues with their actions will be informed and they can take part in the Dhaka Premier League in the next season. The ones who do have problems though, we will work with them,” said Yunus.  

The bowling actions of nearly two dozen bowlers were reported during the Dhaka Premier League, Bangladesh's premium 50-over competition.

The review committee was formed after Bangladesh bowlers Arafat Sunny and Taskin were reported during the World Cup.
