 Lawson took eight wickets in the first Test against Sri Lanka |
West Indies fast bowler Jermaine Lawson has been reported for a suspect action for the second time in two years. The International Cricket Council confirmed on Sunday the umpires in the first Test against Sri Lanka had reported Lawson, who took 8-102.
His action will be looked at by an ICC panel within 21 days although he will still be able to bowl.
Lawson, 23, was reported against Australia in 2003 and spent months undergoing remedial work on his action.
West Indies play Sri Lanka in the second Test in Kandy on Friday, having lost the first by six wickets.
It is up to the discretion of the West Indies Cricket Board if they want Lawson to bowl but the team is already depleted because a contract row has meant most of the first-choice players are unavailable.
ICC match referee Mike Procter said: "The match officials had concerns with potential elbow flexation when viewing the bowler's action with the naked eye.
"This assessment has led the team of officials to request the ICC to commission a biomechanical report into the bowler's action in accordance with the new process introduced earlier this year."
