ESPNCricinfo has reported that Indian left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha has been barred from bowling in competitive cricket after his action was found to be illegal. 

According to the website, following a request by the Hyderabad Cricket Association, Ojha's action was tested at the ICC-recognised centre in Chennai. The tests apparently concluded that Ojha's elbow flexed more than the permissible limit of 15 degrees.

Ojha thus joins a host of international bowlers barred from plying their art due to 'chucking' - Saeed Ajmal, Sachithra Senanayake, Kane Williamson, Sunil Narine, Prosper Utseya to name a few. In fact on Saturday, Saeed Ajmal announced that he was pulling out from Pakistan's 2015 World Cup squad.
