He also picked up 2-26 against Peshawar Zalmi as Quetta began its campaign with a thumping 80-run win.

“As per the rules, Usman can continue to bowl in future (PSL) matches,” the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement. “However, if he is reported again, he will be suspended from bowling and will need to obtain clearance from an ICC-accredited lab before he can resume bowling.”

Last year, Tariq was also reported for a suspect bowling action during Quetta's match against Karachi Kings at the same venue before the franchise voluntarily pulled out the off-spinner from the tournament to undergo the bowling test.

Later in last August, an ICC-accredited laboratory in Lahore cleared the off-spinner's bowling action and he competed in domestic tournaments without being reported. (AP)
