(Pic credit: ICC) NEW DELHI: South Africa\u2019s convincing start to the ODI series in Australia was overshadowed by an unexpected setback, as off-spinner <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/prenelan-subrayen\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prenelan Subrayen<\/a> was reported for a suspect bowling action following the opening match in Cairns on Tuesday.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@toisports\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">SUBSCRIBE NOW!<\/a>The match officials expressed concerns about the legality of Subrayen\u2019s action in their post-match report, prompting the ICC\u2019s standard protocol. The 31-year-old will now undergo an Independent Assessment at an ICC-accredited testing facility, where his action will be scrutinised.<\/p>\n<p>Poll<\/p>\n<p>Will South Africa win the ODI series against Australia?<\/p>\n<p>The development came on what was otherwise a memorable day for Subrayen. Making his 50-over debut, he bowled a full quota of ten overs and dismissed the dangerous Travis Head, who was stumped after a failed attempt to charge down the track. Subrayen had earlier made his Test debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo this year, where he impressed by taking four wickets in the first innings.His report is a blow to South Africa\u2019s balance, particularly with <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/kagiso-rabada\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kagiso Rabada<\/a> already sidelined through injury for the three-match series. The Proteas, who edged out Australia in the series opener, are aiming to build on their momentum after narrowly losing the preceding T20I series 1-2.The series now moves to Mackay for the second and third ODIs on August 22 and 24. But with Subrayen\u2019s availability under a cloud, the visitors face an untimely disruption.
