  • Latest to be reported: Bangladesh fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain.

    Bangladesh fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain is the latest cricketer to have been reported for using a suspected illegal bowling action.

    The match officials' report was presented to 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.

    The 24-year-old will now 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.

    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.
