Lahore Lions' off-spinner Adnan Rasool was reported for suspected illegal bowling action during his team's Champions League Twenty20 match with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in India on Sunday.

The on-field umpires found Rasool's action as suspect during the match in which the Lions lost by four wickets.

After the match ended the on-field umpires along with the third umpire reported the bowler.

It was revealed on Monday that under the CLT20 Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, Rasool might request an Official Assessment from the BCCI Suspect Bowling Action Committee.

Rasool has only been on the warning list and may continue to be selected to play and bowl for his team in a match.

Under the CLT20 Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, if a player receives a report while on the warning list, the player can be suspended from bowling for the remainder of the tournament and from bowling in any matches organised by the BCCI until such date as he is cleared.

A player suspended from bowling may continue to be selected to play, however he will not be entitled to bowl.
