West Indies Shane Shillingford has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action following the Galle Test against Sri Lanka, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Saturday.

The umpires' report has cited concern over the straightening of his arm while bowling some balls to the degree that may constitute an illegal action. "Shillingford's bowling action will be scrutinised," the ICC release said.

The spinner will have to submit to an independent analysis of his bowling action, which will be conducted by a member of the ICC panel of human movement specialists.
