Spinner Sidak Singh
Mumbai's young left-arm spinner Sidak Singh has yet again been reported for a suspect bowling action by the BCCI. Sidak, 18, who played seven T20 games in 2015, taking six wickets, needs to get his bowling action cleared by the Indian cricket board.
Sidak along with Mumbai offie Ankush Jaiswal (25) and few other bowlers had undergone biomechanical tests at the Sri Ramchandra Arthroscopy and Sports Science Centre in Chennai on July 11. On July 28, Jaiswal's bowling action had been cleared, but Sidak's result was not declared.
Confirming the development, MCA Joint Secretary Dr Unmesh Khanvilkar told mid-day that Mumbai's bowling coach Omkar Salvi will work on Sidak's bowling action. "Sidak is not allowed to bowl till his action is cleared by the BCCI. We (MCA) will again work on his bowling action at our indoor academy and then send him to Chennai," Khanvilkar said.
Sidak is confident about coming out of this phase. "I am working hard on my bowling action with Omkar sir. It's frustrating as I want to play. But, I am confident of correcting my action and will play for Mumbai again," said Sidak.
