West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels has been reported for bowling with a suspect action for a third time in his career.
Samuels, who is a part-time spinner, was cited after the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, which the home side won by an innings and six runs on Saturday.
The 34-year-old will need to undergo testing within 14 days, but is permitted to continue bowling until the results come out, according to the ICC.
Samuels was banned from bowling for nearly four years from 2008 over concerns with his action but was allowed to resume in 2011 after remedial work.
He was reported again following a Test in India in 2013 and subsequently banned from bowling his quicker deliveries but has been allowed to continue with his standard off-break.
The West Indies' second Test against Sri Lanka begins on Thursday in Colombo.
