for a suspect bowling action but the cricketer can play

"The report was made by umpires David Shepherd, Rudi

of Hossain's action taken on the second day of the second test
between Australia and Bangladesh in Cairns," ICC general
manager, cricket, David Richardson said in a press release.
"The umpires asked to review footage of Hossain's action
from the second day's play. After reviewing the footage both
on-field umpires and the third umpire decided to reported
the bowler to the ICC," he said.
"This issue now comes under the ICC'S regulations dealing with this matter and over the next six weeks Hossain and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will have the opportunity to work on any areas of concern. Hossain will be able to continue to play during this time." However, he remains subject to being "called" on the field for throwing.
After six weeks, a detailed report will be submitted to the ICC by the BCB which will be circulated to all match referees and umpires.
If a second report is lodged after the six week period, a hearing will be held by the ICC'S bowling review group and the player may be banned for 12 months.
Bangladesh lost the two test series to Australia 0-2 following their innings and 98 runs defeat in the second test which ended on the fourth day yesterday.
