Sri Lanka spinner Akila Dananjaya who was reported for a suspect bowling action at the end of the first cricket Test against New Zealand at Galle will travel to Chennai with team consultant Jerome Jayaratne on August 28 to have his action tested.
Sri Lanka team manager Ashantha de Mel said that Dananjaya will undergo the test on August 29 and will return the same day.
The young Lankan spinner has been reported for the second time this year and if he fails to have his action cleared he will be in danger of being banned from playing international cricket for a year.
Dananjaya who took five wickets in the New Zealand first innings at Galle is unlikely to play in the second Test beginning at the P Sara Oval today.
De Mel who is also the chairman of selectors said that Dananjaya will in all probability be included in the Sri Lanka squad for next month’s three-match T20I series against New Zealand as the report from Chennai would take at least two weeks to be released. – ST
