To a spinning edition of the highs and lows in international cricket..

35-year-old South African left-arm orthodox Keshav Maharaj tops the one-day international bowling rankings for the first time since 2023 after returning figures of five for 33 in the opening victory over Australia in Cairns.



However, teammate Prenelan Subrayen has been reported for a suspect bowling action on debut in the format.

The 31-year-old off-break specialist must now undergo an independent ICC assessment on his action within the next two weeks.

He was previously rehabilitated in 2012.



And among their opponents, Adam Zampa has been reprimanded by the ICC governing body for a potty mouth, and has had one demerit point added to his record.

He was captured cussing via the stump microphone when an overthrow was conceded off his bowling in the 37th over.
