This action has no reaction

“It doesn’t bother me that my name is on that list. It is a standard procedure — the umpires had to file a report with the board once they called my action as suspect,” Nagar told Sportline.

“I have not discussed this matter with anyone,as I have not been officially asked to go through a corrective session yet. But I know I will have to report at the NCA sometime in August to get my action reviewed. I will think about it once I am back in Delhi after the IPL matches,” he added.

The confidence with which he deals with the issue comes naturally to the 19-year-old all-rounder. On his First-Class debut against Gujarat in Valsad,Nagar scored 79 and almost got Delhi the first-innings lead. His List-A debut wasn’t as impressive and he was no-balled for a flawed action in the match against Jammu & Kashmir earlier this year.

“I don’t remember the umpire who no-balled me against J&K. But it didn’t affect me at all,as I went on to bowl a lot of overs even after that,” Nagar says.

Suspect action or not,the youngster finished up as the highest wicket-taker for the Delhi team in the Ranji one-dayers with 15 wickets in six matches.

Having warmed the bench for the entire IPL last year,he is hoping that his recent performances will earn him a chance to play in the first eleven this time around.

“Last year,it was different. I hadn’t played for Delhi,so getting a game in the IPL was out of question. This time,I’ve performance to show. I am looking forward to the South Africa trip as this will be my first tour outside India. I am just hoping to get a game and hopefully do good as this is a big opportunity for me to make a name for myself.

“After scoring 79 against Gujarat,I knew that I can play at this level,plus I did well in the one-dayers too. Given a chance,I am sure I’ll do well in IPL also,” he concluded.
