Kamran Khan, the Rajasthan Royals' teenaged fast bowling discovery, has been reported for having a suspect bowling action.
Khan, the son of a woodcutter from Uttar Pradesh in India, was reported by umpires Rudi Koertzen and Graham Baxter after the Royals' Indian Premier League match against the Chennai Super Kings at Centurion Thursday.
The left-armed Khan, 18, has surprised batsmen with the pace generated from a whippy, slingy action since being drafted into the Royals' squad, reportedly on a contract worth 24,000 dollars a season, after being spotted by assistant coach Darren Berry during a tournament in Mumbai.
He was the bowler chosen by captain Shane Warne to bowl a decisive 'super over' to secure a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
In a statement, the IPL said footage of Khan taken during Thursday's match was studied by the umpires and would be referred to the IPL's technical committee.
IPL commissioner Lalit Modi said he was awaiting a report from the committee before deciding on further action.
