New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka's Akila Dananjaya have been reported for suspect bowling action after the first Test between the two teams in Galle, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed it through a statement on Tuesday (August 20).

"The match officials' report, which was handed over to the management of both teams, cited concerns about the legality of the bowling actions of both players," the ICC statement read.

Williamson and Dananjaya will now go through a bowling test within 14 days from the reporting date (August 18). During this period, both will be allowed to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the test are known.

Williamson bowled just three overs during the second innings of the opening Test which the hosts won by six wickets.

On the other hand, Dananjaya bowled 62 overs across the two Black Caps innings and claimed 6 wickets including a five-wicket haul in the first essay.

The second Test between both the sides will kickstart on Thursday (August 22) at P Sara Oval, Colombo.
