Lawson headed the West Indies bowling averages against Australia

The 21-year-old was forced the sit out the seven one-day internationals against Australia because of bulging discs in the lower back.

Lawson's bowling action is under review by the International Cricket Council after he was reported by the umpires during the fourth Test against Australia.

He will fly to Antigua to work with bowling advisors Andy Roberts and Kenny Benjamin once he is able to bowl without discomfort.

"We expect that he will be pain-free in the next week and a half," said West Indies Cricket Board president Wes Hall.

"Lawson has been receiving treatment.

"We sent that information to the International Cricket Council requesting an extension of two weeks before he begins correction work on his bowling action."

The Jamaican has emerged as a bowler with the potential to spearhead the West Indies seam attack for many years to come.

He has taken 29 wickets in his first seven Tests and returned his best figures of 7-78 in Antigua recently to help his side to a famous three-wicket win over Australia.
