Spinners who had setbacks due to their illegal bowling action

#5 Shane Shillingford

New Zealand v West Indies - Second Test: Day 1
Shillingford has found it hard to make a comeback to the Windies team

The off-spinner from the Caribbean had a sublime start to his career. In just 16 Test matches, he picked up 70 wickets with six five-wicket-hauls and two ten-wicket-hauls. He will always be remembered for the series against India back in 2013, which was also Sachin Tendulkar's last series. In that series, he had the nod over the Indian batsmen in their own backyard and bagged quite a few wickets.

He had always been in and out of the side due to his suspect action, and after his doosra was prohibited, he was never made it back into the side.
