Pakistan’s spinner Usman Tariq has fired back at batters who have been questioning the legality of his bowling action whenever they are dismissed by him.

This comes after a similar occurrence happened recently in The Hundred in the United Kingdom, when Australian batter Tim David signaled for a no-ball after being caught behind during a match between the Trent Rockets and Birmingham Phoenix.

Earlier this year, Australia all-rounder Cameron Green had also appeared to be questioning Tariq's action during a T20I.

Tariq is the only other Pakistani player competing in The Hundred, along with Abrar Ahmed, and said it is upsetting to see batters question his actions every time.

"It is not the batters’ job to do these things. The umpires and match referee are there to watch everything. If I am allowed to bowl by the umpire, it means my bowling action is legal.

Maybe the umpires and match referee need to do something. I remember even in the International T20 League in Dubai, England's Tom Banton did the same thing, and at that time, I let him know my thoughts very clearly after getting him out,” Tariq was quoted as saying by PTI.

R Ashwin, a former spinner for India, has stated on a few occasions that Tariq's bowling action, which involves pausing, is not against the rules and that it is challenging for the bowler to perform.

Tariq was once reported during a Pakistan Super League game; however, the ICC cleared him.

"This should stop now. I work very hard on my bowling for variations because in T20 cricket nowadays there is no mercy for spinners. You have to be focused all the time," Tariq said.
