HAMILTON, Bermuda, CMC — The International Cricket Council (ICC) has agreed to a request from Bermuda authorities and granted them a two-week extension to submit a report on Allan Douglas, Jr’s bowling action, the Royal Gazette newspaper said yesterday.

All-rounder Douglas, who bowls off-spin, was reported for a suspect action by the umpires during a match against Singapore at last month’s Pepsi ICC Division Three tournament in Malaysia where Bermuda finished bottom of the six countries taking part and were relegated to Division Four along with the United States.

The Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) was subsequently given 21 days to submit a report on Douglas’ action, which has now been extended until next Friday.

“We asked for an extension, which we got,” BCB chief executive Neil Speight told the Gazette.

“It had to be done in 21 days but when we got back from Malaysia we found we didn’t have what we needed, so we asked for an extension to that deadline”.
