Ace Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh today said he had not stopped bowling the 'doosra' despite the delivery being reported as suspect and was confident of coming out clean in the tests.Harbhajan said he had not changed his bowling action since being reported during the second Test in Chittagong against Bangladesh and he had bowled the 'doosra', the delivery that moves way from right handers, in the first one-dayer at the same venue later. "I have not stopped bowling my 'doosra'. I have been bowling as I have done before," said the spinner. "Anyway, I have been reported and I cannot be reported again (for the next six weeks)." Under ICC regulations, Harbhajan would have to work with an ICC-approved bio-mechanic expert for corrective measures on his action within six weeks, and he cannot be reported again during that period. Harbhajan seemed to draw hope from the fact that the intense debate on the issue of suspect bowling would find a way out for him too. "I am not worried at all. I am confident there is nothing wrong with my action," he said. "Every Test bowler is now being tested, even fast bowlers like Glenn McGrath and others. It has become routine. I have taken 300-plus wickets in international cricket. I am confident that the tests will prove there is nothing wrong with my action. in-depth coverage > Indian Cricket Team's Bangladesh Tour > |
