Bangladesh fast bowler Al-Amin
Hossain has been reported to the
International Cricket Council (ICC) for
a suspect action.
Al-Amin was reported by match
officials following Bangladesh's 10-
wicket loss to West Indies in the first
Test in St Lucia that came to an end
on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old follows team-mate
and off-spinner Sohag Gazi in
becoming the second Bangladesh
player in less than two weeks to have
his action reported to the sport's
governing body.
Sohag was reported following a one-
day international clash with the West
Indies on August 24.
Al-Amin will now have his action
tested at an ICC facility in either
Brisbane or Cardiff, and he can
continue bowling until the results of
those examinations are revealed.
An ICC statement read: "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."
In a recent crackdown by the ICC, Sri
Lanka off-spinner Sachithra
Senanayake, New Zealand's Kane
Williamson, Zimbabwe's Prosper
Utseya and Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal
have been reported, with
Senanayake, Williamson and Ajmal
banned from bowling as a result.
