The ICC confirmed on sunday that Bangladesh bowler Khan Abdur Razzak has been reported with a suspected illegal bowling action.

The report was made by the three match umpires and compiled by ICC Match Referee Roshan Mahanama after the Asia Cup game between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Sri Lanka on 17 July.

The on-field umpires were Brian Jerling and Gamini Silva and the TV Umpire was A Jayaprakash.

Mr Mahanama has since informed both the ICC and the player's team management of the decision, as per the ICC regulations governing the reporting process.

"The umpires were of the opinion that the player's action needed to be looked at and it is in the best interests of the player that this is done at this early stage of his career," said Mr Mahanama.

There is a clear two-stage process endorsed by all Test playing countries for bowlers reported in international cricket. Razzaq, a left arm orthodox spinner, has now been referred to Stage One of the process, which means that he can continue to play international cricket while working with specialist advisors, including a human movement specialist from the ICC panel, to review his bowling action.

A detailed review will be compiled by the BCB and submitted to the ICC within a six week period of the reporting. This will then be circulated to all ICC Match Referees and Elite Panel umpires for information and reference.
