Is Usman Tariq's bowling action legal despite pauses dividing opinion

Usman Tariq's bowling action has sparked debate due to his pause during delivery. While MCC and ICC guidelines do not specify limits on pause duration, umpires have the sole authority to judge fair play. Former ICC umpire Anil Choudhury confirmed Tariq's action complies with rules, and the ICC has cleared him twice. Tariq explained his elbow shape causes confusion. The pause has divided opinion, but officially, there is no violation unless umpires decide otherwise.
