St Vincent, West Indies (BBN)-Bangladesh fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain is the latest player to have been reported for using a suspected illegal action.
The match officials’ report was presented to the Bangladesh team manager Habibul Bashar after the team’s 10-wicket loss against the West Indies on Tuesday, and cited concerns about the legality of Al-Amin’s action, reports The Guardian.
The 24-year-old will undergo testing from the International Cricket Council within 21 days and Al-Amin will continue to be available in international cricket until the results are known.
The ICC has been clamping down on illegal bowling actions in recent months.
The Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal was banned from international cricket on Tuesday after his deliveries were found to have “exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under the regulations”.
Ajmal’s ban came after New Zealand’s Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka’s Sachithra Senanayake were also suspended in July.
A statement on the ICC’s website read: “Bangladesh’s fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain has been reported with a suspected illegal bowling action during his side’s 10 wickets loss in the first Test against West Indies in St Vincent.
“The match officials’ report, which was handed over to Bangladesh team manager Habibul Bashar after the Test concluded on Tuesday, cited concerns about the legality of the 24-year-old’s bowling action.
“Al-Amin’s 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 21 days, and during this period Al-Amin is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the testing are known.”
