AFTER being clean swept 3-0 by South Africa in a three match One-Day International cricket contest at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe now brace for a different challenge in the best ODI playing nation Australia whom they meet in the triangular series opener at Harare Sports Club tomorrow. Zimbabwe received a blow after the series against South Africa when the ICC announced that their star spin bowler Prosper Utseya had been reported for a suspect bowling action.

The match officials’ report according to an ICC Press release cited concerns regarding Utseya’s arm ball and faster delivery with the umpires concluding that the bowler’s action needs to be tested.

The 29-year-old Utseya will now have to undergo testing within 21 days of being reported as per the ICC regulations.
