Kraigg Brathwaite reported for suspect bowlingBraithwaite bowling against Pakistan last year
West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite has been reported for a suspect bowling action during the first Test between England. The part-timer, who bowls off breaks, bowled six overs, giving only six runs during England's innings.
Until the results come out, Brathwaite will be allowed to bowl in international cricket, but will have to undergo testing in the next 14 days.
Two years ago, another West Indian, Marlon Samuels, had been banned from bowling for 12 months after being called for a suspect bowling action, and was able to resume only when he was given the green light earlier this year.
