New Delhi, Feb. 11 -- Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has come out in support of Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq, whose bowling action has created a buzz in the cricketing circle after Pakistan's win over the USA on Tuesday.

Tariq took three wickets while conceding 27 runs as Pakistan registered their second consecutive win of the tournament. Men in Green defeated the USA by 32 runs.

The 28-year-old Tariq's bowling action includes a pause during the run-up before the delivery, and he also has a side-arm action, which creates a lot of confusion for batters and has helped him in getting wickets in the past. After the match, Tariq faced a lot of criticism on social media.
