Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been alleged with suspect bowling action yet again, as veteran Aussie sports commentator Ian Maurice blamed “political correctness” for cricket's failure to hold the pacer up to scrutiny, reports Hindustan Times.
Maurice also accused Australian media for not having put Bumrah's action “under the microscope.”
On Monday, Maurice took to social media on the matter to post: “Why has no one questioned the delivery of India paceman Bumrah? Is it not politically correct these days? I'm not saying he's throwing but at least the position of the arm at the point of delivery should be analyzed. Nine would have had it under the microscope some years ago.”
Maurice, who reckoned cricket powers are not willing to analyse Bumrah's action as they are afraid of being called racist, further clarifiied saying, "I wish you people who want to jump down my throat would bother to read what I wrote. I said “I'M NOT SAYING HE'S THROWING ... but his action should be analyzed...that's all!”
