West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels has been reported for suspect bowling action during the first Test against Sri Lanka.
The match officials reported to International Cricket Council (ICC) and to the West Indian team management, cited concerns about the legality of the 34-year-old’s bowling action.
Samuels’ bowling action will now be scrutinised further under the ICC process relating to suspected illegal bowling actions reported in Tests, ODIs and T20Is.
He is required to undergo testing within 14 days, and, during this period, Samuels is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the testing are known.
This is the third time Samuels has been reported with a suspect action.
