With just seven weeks left for the Cricket World Cup to start, Zimbabwe all-rounder Malcolm Waller has been suspended from bowling over illegal action.
The off-spinner was reported after the second Test against Bangladesh in Khulna last month.

Waller would have the opportunity for re-assessment after modifying his bowling action.
The middle-order batsman, who has been named in Zimbabwe's provisional 30-man World Cup squad, has been used as a bowling option frequently in the last 12 months and in his last ODI against South Africa in September bowled a full complement of 10 overs, the report added.
