The report of the match officials, citing concerns about the legality of Al-Amin’s bowling action, was handed over to Bangladesh team manager Habibul Bashar after the match.
The match officials during the game were Marais Erasmus and Richard Illingworth, the two onfield umpires, Steve Davis, the TV umpire, and Roshan Mahanama, the match referee.
The 24-year-old will have to get his action tested within 21 days at an ICC-accredited facility either in Cardiff or Brisbane and can continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the tests are known.
Five other bowlers, including Al-Amin’s teammate Sohag Gazi, have also been reported by the International Cricket Council (ICC) since July this year.
Of them, Sri Lanka off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake, New Zealand's Kane Williamson and Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal were subsequently banned from bowling after testing.
