5 suspended bowlers who returned after a modified action

Pragyan Ojha

Once a regular in the Indian Test setup, Ojha now finds himself out of national reckoning after he was banned from bowling at the competitive level due to an illegal bowling action. Since then, his place in the Indian whites has been taken by Ravindra Jadeja.

He last played for India in Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell Test, earning the man of the match for his 10-wicket haul. The slide started when the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) got clear directives from the BCCI, barring Ojha from bowling even at the domestic level.

He’s been on the comeback road ever since, remodelling his action to comply with the rules. Even though he hasn’t made it to the top yet, he still harbours dreams of playing for the Indian team.
