Inform captain instead of reporting bowler for suspect action: Gavaskar

New Delhi Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar says instead of reporting a bowler with suspect action umpires can straightaway call the offender or inform the captain to take him off attack as that would not allow the bowler to have an impact on the outcome of the matchSunil GavaskarTalking about ICCs crackdown on suspect bowling action that has been on the rise in the last 10 months Gavaskar said that the umpires need to inform captains during the game rather than report the action after itThere is no point in reporting a bowler after he has won a ODI for his team with a suspect action That is no good If theyre unhappy with the action they should ask the captain to take him off That should be the way forward Gavaskar told NDTV todayRather than reporting suspect actions the umpires should straightaway tell the captain that they arent happy with that particular bowlers action and shouldnt be bowled any further and if he is bowledthey will reportHe added I think its when the bowlers are a little bit tired or when they are putting in a little bit more effort then the flex extends to more than 15 degrees and the naked eye certainly catches it I think thats what has happened with all these bowlers and thats why they are being reportedAccording to Gavaskar there are no bowlers with suspect action in the Indian team though he said quite a few in the domestic circuit needs corrective action At the moment in the current Indian squad there are no bowlers with a suspect action There are probably a few in the domestic circuit that need to work on their actionIndia and the West Indies will be involved in a fivematch ODI series from tomorrow and Gavaskar picked rookie spinner Kuldeep Yadav as the player to watch outfor I will keep my eye on Kuldeep Yadav He has been the find of the Champions League T20 What has been impressive is his ability to comeback after being hit for runsSo far he has shown he is not afraid to come back Hopefully he will get the right kind of advice in the Indian dressing room Hes got a big heart and he doesnt lethis shoulders drop He actually wants to comeback and bowl again after going for a lot of runs and that is the hallmark of someone looking to fight it out I think he can be a matchwinner even in Tests he addedAs far as Virat Kohlis poor run of form was concerned Gavaskar felt the series against the West Indies is an opportunity for the batting mainstay I think on Indian pitches it shouldnt be a problem for him to score runs He has scored all over the world In the subcontinent against this West Indian bowling attack it isan opportunity for him to regain the confidence he lost on the England tourAnd talking about Rohit Sharma who was not picked in the squad for the current series because of injuries Gavaskar said the Mumbaikar will have to prove his mettle in domestic cricket again It his return to the team depends on the kind of form Rohit is in When you talk about his comeback he needs to play domestic cricketHe has got to show some form Nobody just walks back into the Indian team I dont think we should talk as if Rohit is a certainty Rohit will have to prove himself and score heaps of runs Only after that can we discuss whether he can open the batting or Ajinkya Rahane should continue
