ICC suspends Shane Shillingford(WI) for illegal bowling action Monday Dec 16,2013

In a major blow to the West Indies cricket team, off-spinner Shane Shillingford was on Monday Dec 16,2013 suspended by the ICC for having an illegal bowling action

The latest independent analyses of Shillingford and Samuels were performed by Associate Professor Jacque Alderson and her team at the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health, The University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth on November 29,2013

The players have the right to appeal against UWA's conclusions to the Bowling Review Group. Should they choose to appeal, they must lodge written notification with the ICC within 14 days

"...an independent biomechanical analysis has found the bowling action of West Indies' off-spinner Shane Shillingford to be illegal and, as such, the player has been suspended from bowling in international cricket," the ICC said in a statement

The analysis revealed that for both his standard off-break delivery and his doosra, the amount of elbow extension in his bowling action exceeded the 15 degrees' level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Regulations

''He is suspended from bowling in international cricket until such time that he has submitted to a fresh analysis, which concludes that he has remedied his bowling action."

Note
Shane Shillingford was reported at the end of the second day's play in the Mumbai Test against India in Nov 2013 by on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nigel Llong, TV Umpire Vineet Kulkarni and match referee Andy Pycroft
