ST JOHN’S, An­tigua – Guyana Harpy Ea­gles pac­er Rons­ford Beat­on has been sus­pend­ed from bowl­ing in the West In­dies Cham­pi­onship by Crick­et West In­dies with im­me­di­ate ef­fect.

CWI dis­closed in a me­dia re­lease on Wednes­day that the bowl­ing ac­tion of Beat­on was found il­le­gal by an in­de­pen­dent as­ses­sor at Lough­bor­ough Uni­ver­si­ty, an ac­cred­it­ed test­ing cen­tre for sus­pect bowl­ing ac­tions in the Unit­ed King­dom.

The ac­tion of the 30-year-old was found to be in breach of the per­mit­ted flex un­der CWI play­ing reg­u­la­tions af­ter he was re­port­ed by match of­fi­cials dur­ing the fourth round match be­tween the ta­ble-lead­ing Harpy Ea­gles and Ja­maica Scor­pi­ons in Guyana.

Beat­on has tak­en 18 wick­ets at 17.50 runs apiece in four match­es so far this sea­son, mak­ing him the sec­ond-best bowler for the Harpy Ea­gles, as well as the most suc­cess­ful pac­er and fifth-best bowler over­all in the tour­na­ment at the time of his sus­pen­sion.

Typ­i­cal­ly, bowlers with sus­pect ac­tions un­der­go re­me­di­al work un­der the su­per­vi­sion of their fran­chise fol­low­ing which they may ap­ply for a re-ex­am­i­na­tion – but there was n0 in­di­ca­tion if he will.

This is not the first time that Beat­on has been sus­pend­ed for a sus­pect ac­tion.

He was re­port­ed and lat­er sus­pend­ed dur­ing the West In­dies Su­per50 Cup three years ago in Trinidad, which was two years af­ter he en­dured a sim­i­lar fate fol­low­ing on­ly his sec­ond One-day In­ter­na­tion­al ap­pear­ance for West In­dies against New Zealand in De­cem­ber 2017.

Beat­on had not played on the re­gion­al stage for al­most three years un­til he rep­re­sent­ed the Guyana Ama­zon War­riors in the in­au­gur­al 6IX­TY tour­na­ment last Au­gust in St Kitts and made his re­turn to the line-up for the Harpy Ea­gles this year.

With fatherhood came greater responsibility—and even greater love. The best part of having two girls is the constant love and kisses I get every single day.”
