West Indies off-spinner Marlon Samuels will have to undergo testing on his action within two weeks after being reported for having a suspect bowling action, for the third time in seven years. An International Cricket Council release said Monday that the match officials report following last week’s first Test in Galle against Sri Lanka “cited concerns about the legality of the 34-year-old’s bowling action”.
Under ICC regulations, Samuels will now be required to have his action tested within 14 days, but will be allowed to continue bowling until the results of the tests are disclosed.
