Shaminda Eranga, Sri Lankan right-arm seamer, has been suspended from
bowling in international cricket with immediate effect, the
International Cricket Council announced on Sunday (June 19).
Eranga
was reported after the second Test against England in Chester-le-Street
last month. "The assessment revealed that all deliveries exceeded the
15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under the regulations," the
governing body said in a release.
"In accordance with Article 6.1
of the regulations, Eranga's international suspension will also be
recognised and enforced by all National Cricket Federations for domestic
cricket events played in their own jurisdiction, save that, with the
consent of Sri Lanka Cricket, Eranga may be able to play in domestic
cricket events played in Sri Lanka under the auspices of Sri Lanka
Cricket."
Eranga underwent the test at the Loughborough facility
on June 6. He can now request a re-assessment after working on his
action. Earlier today, he was hospitalised in Dublin due to a heart ailment.
The
29-year-old made his Test debut in 2011 and has played 19 Tests, 19
One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals and has picked
up 81 wickets across all formats.
