The ICC ruled Lawson's action required remedial work

Test umpires reported 21-year-old Lawson for a suspect bowling action during the fourth Test against Australia in Antigua in May.

He has not played since that match, when he took a career-best seven wickets for 78 runs against Australia and aggravated a disc injury in his lower back in the process.

"Jermaine has been carrying along very well with the remedial program in Jamaica," said the West Indies Cricket Board's Michael Seepersaud, who is supervising the review process.

"The back problems that set back the remedial work on his bowling action are now over, he's free from pain, and substantial progress has been made to ensure his all-round biomechanical efficiency."

Next week, the cricket board plan to fly in biomechanics specialist Dr. Paul Hurrion from Britain to conduct an assessment of the way Lawson uses his elbow when bowling.

"Dr. Hurrion has worked in a similar capacity for the ICC with other bowlers and is highly recommended, so we are pleased to have him come and work with Jermaine," Seepersaud said.

"Once we have his analysis of Jermaine, we will convene the bowling committee and send our review to the ICC for their consideration."

Lawson has taken 29 wickets at 24.31 runs apiece in seven Tests.
