The International Cricket Council (ICC) continued its crackdown on suspect bowling actions. Bangladesh pacer, Al-Amin Hossain, became the sixth bowler to be reported in the last two months. Sohag Gazi, Prosper Utseya, Sachitra Senanayake, Kane Williamson and Saeed Ajmal had all been called recently with the last three banned.

ICC media release:

Bangladeshs fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain has been reported with a suspected illegal bowling action during his sides 10 wickets loss in the first Test against the 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-olds bowling action. Al-Amins 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.
