ICC to step up bowling review process

The ICC has agreed to the Sri Lankan board's request to hurry up their bowling review process. After discussions at the ICC's annual conference, representatives from the Sri Lankan board challenged the ICC on how they currently deal with illegal bowling actions.

The result of the meetings was that the ICC will speed up the process of looking at illegal actions as far as they can, as long as it doesn't hinder the Cricket Committee and the Chief Executives' Committee (CEC), the groups who will be specifically researching these issues.

The ICC has promised to look further into the problem of throwing during the ICC Champions Trophy in England this September. After which members of the Cricket Committee, including the former cricketers Tim May, Aravinda de Silva and Angus Fraser, will then have another look at how the current process of reviewing bowling actions is dealt with.
