SINGAPORE (Reuters) - West Indies off-spinner Shane Shillingford has been banned from bowling in international cricket because of an illegal action, the sport’s governing body ruled on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old from Dominica was reported by on-field umpires Steve Davis and Richard Kettleborough after the Galle test against Sri Lanka last month.

“A comprehensive analysis revealed that his mean elbow extension was 17 degrees which is above the 15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under the relevant regulations,” the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement.
