Hi Aaliyah,

There is no limit on the speed that a spin bowler can bowl. If they are using a good technique and batters are struggling to face them then I would encourage them to bowl in that way. Spinners do sometimes take speed off their bowling and bowl with more flight but encourage them to bowl in the way they feel most comfortable.

I hope this helps,

Cam
