Sri Lanka all-rounder Akila Dananjaya has been banned from bowling for 12 months because of a suspect action. Akila had been reported to the ICC for a suspect action whilst playing for Sri Lanka against New Zealand in Gallle back in August.
The ICC then flew the 25-year-old to the Sri Ramachandra Institute in Chennai for the bio mechanical assessment under the supervision of Dr. Aditya and Mr. Gnanavel and their team. They claim his action saw his bowling arm range from 4-17 degrees and with 15 degrees the limit, he was subsequently been banned for a second time in his career and he will not be able to bowl again until August 29, 2020.
