West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels has once again been reported to the International Cricket Council for a suspect bowling action.

The 34-year-old, who has previously been banned from bowling in international cricket, was cited during the Windies' first Test defeat to Sri Lanka in Galle over the weekend.

Samuels must therefore undergo testing within the next fortnight although, as per ICC regulations, he will be able to continue bowling until the results of the investigation are announced.

This is the third time Samuels' part-time off-spin has come under scrutiny.

From early 2008 to late 2011, he played as a specialist batsman only although in that time he was given a two-year suspension from cricket for "receiving money, or benefit or other reward that could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute".

As part of the ICC's clampdown on spinners in the last couple of years, he was reported again in November 2013, along with Windies team-mate Shane Shillingford, and as a result was banned from bowling quicker deliveries.
