ICC goof-up allows Samuels to bowl after grace period

COLOMBO - The ICC has made an allowance for Marlon Samuels to bowl in the second ODI against Sri Lanka, although the match is being played outside the 14-day grace period allowed for bowlers reported for a suspect action. The ICC said the exception was made because "the West Indies team was incorrectly advised that he was eligible to bowl in this match", and that West Indies had "selected the team based on this information." After this match Samuels will not be allowed to bowl until the results of his assessment are known.
