New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka spinner Akila Dananjaya have been reported for suspect bowling actions after the first Test between the teams which ended on Sunday.
“Williamson and Dananjaya will undergo testing within 14 days and, during this period, both will be permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the testing are known,” the International Cricket Council said.
That means both players will be allowed to bowl in the second match of the two-Test series, which starts on Thursday in Colombo.
Right-armer Dananjaya bowled 62 overs in the first Test at Galle, taking six for 164 in the match and helping Sri Lanka to a six-wicket win.
He had just returned to Test cricket after being banned in December 2018 for an illegal action.
Williamson, a part-time off-spinner, bowled only three overs in the second innings without taking a wicket. He was banned from bowling in international cricket in 2014 after tests found his elbow extension exceeded the 15 degrees allowed under ICC rules.
