Senanayake heads to Perth to sort out action

Quote:Sachithra Senanayake, the Sri Lanka offspinner who was banned from bowling last month due to an illegal action, has left for Perth to undergo a remediation programme with Daryl Foster, a biomechanical expert at the University of Western Australia.

Senanayake, who will be accompanied by Sri Lanka Cricket's coaching department head Jerome Jayaratne, will spend at least 10 days in Perth where he will be subjected to extensive bio-mechanical testing and reporting by the biomechanics team at the University of Western Australia.

Quote:Senanayake has been green-lighted to play in Sri Lanka's Mercantile Cricket tournament, after Sri Lanka Cricket analysed a report by the experts with whom the offspinner reworked his action.

The board said "Sachithra has shown tremendous improvement" following the week-long remedial work he undertook alongside human movement specialist Daryl Foster at the University of Western Australia in Perth but was unwilling to indicate whether the flex in his elbow had been brought to within the 15-degree legal limit.
