ST JOHN’S (Antigua), July 26: West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) will submit a review of fast bowler Jermaine Lawson’s bowling action to the International Cricket Council by Aug 1, the board said.

Test umpires reported 21-year-old Lawson for a suspect bowling action during the fourth test against Australia in Antigua in May. He hasn’t played since May 13, when he took a career-best seven for 78 against Australia and aggravated a disc injury in his lower back.

“Jermaine has been carrying along very well with the remedial program in Jamaica,” said Michael Seepersaud, the regional board’s chief development officer, who is supervising the review process.

“The back problems that set back the remedial work on his bowling action is now over, he’s free from pain, and substantial progress has been made to ensure his allround biomechanical efficiency.”—PPI
