ICC bans Senanayake

Sri Lanka's off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake has been banned from international cricket with immediate effect after his bowling action during a match against England proved illegal, it was announced Saturday.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) which investigated a complaint following Sri Lanka's victory over England at Lords in May concluded that he used a "an illegal bowling action," Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said in a statement.
Senanayake, 29, who twice recorded career-best figures in the Royal London series, was reported by umpires Ian Gould and Marais Erasmus during a One-Day International series that Sri Lanka won.
"The Standard ICC Illegal Action Testing Protocol was used to assess the degree of elbow extension from the point of upper arm horizontal to ball release within the bowling action," SLC said.
