The young pacer’s action was discussed at the recent IPL governing council meet where it was felt that Kamran could be allowed to play.
Rajasthan Royals got a boost to their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign when their key pacer Kamran Khan was given the go-ahead to play in the league. The young pacer’s action was discussed at the recent IPL governing council meet where it was felt that Kamran could be allowed to play. However, his action will be under scrutiny during the tournament.
“We’re expecting the final report but I think he should be ok. Ravi Shastri, NCA chairman and IPL governing council member, has seen his action and is satisfied,” IPL commissioner Lalit Modi told DNA.
“We’re looking forward to his performance,” Royals chief executive Sean Morris told this paper.
Khan said he was always confident of getting the go-ahead. “I expected it. The biomechanists in Australia (Perth) have cleared my action. There was some suspicion because my bowling arm bends because of an injury suffered in my childhood,” he said.
Kamran, who shot into fame after holding his nerve in the eliminator over against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 23 last year, was reported by Rudi Koertzen and Gary Baxter after the Royals’ match against Chennai Super Kings at Centurion on April 30.
He did not take part in the IPL II after that. He was sent to Australia by the Royals to have his action rectified.
IPL-NBA standoff continues
Meanwhile, the stand-off between the IPL and the news channels is on. Modi said he did not see an immediate end to the impasse as the National Broadcasters Association ‘backed out’ on their word after agreeing to certain conditions.
Modi also promised a grand start to IPL III. Actor Deepika Padukone will perform. Modi also announced that the IPL’s Central Sponsorship Revenue has doubled since last year. On Tuesday, the IPL announced tie-up with Karbonn Mobiles.
