Hossain has played in four Tests, nine ODIs and nine Twenty20s

Bangladesh fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain is the latest international to be reported for a suspect bowling action.

The 24-year-old is the sixth bowler, and the first non off-spinner, to be reported by match officials since July.

His action must be tested in the next 21 days at an International Cricket Council facility in either Cardiff or Brisbane.

Hossain, who has played four Test matches, can continue bowling until the results are known.

The right-armer has also played nine one-day internationals and nine Twenty20s.

Pakistan spinner Saaed Ajmal has been suspended after analysis showed his arm bent more than the 15 degrees allowed.

Sri Lanka off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake, New Zealand's Kane Williamson, Zimbabwe's Prosper Utseya were reported recently, Senanayake, and Williamson also subsequently banned from bowling.
