The 29-year-old reported feeling discomfort while batting during Sri Lanka’s ODI win over Ireland on Saturday. “He was okay and stable and we’re awaiting the results,” a Sri Lanka Cricket spokesman told British media. Eranga’s action was reported during the second test against England at Chester-le-Street last month and his action was found to be illegal after an independent assessment, the ICC said in a statement.
