Was he suspended? Is not like that "if he is reported within one year of the first reporting he will be suspend" or similar to that. Did not read something like Lawson was suspened for a year or so. I know he was injured for a while and working on his bowling !
Sorry! He was not suspended. He was reported by unpires David Shepherd and Venkat last year in May. And after that in Stage 1, biomechanics specialist report went against him. To avoid being reported again WI did not include himin any national squad for 1 year, and went on remedial efforts. He was tested in a practice match against England in last March to see the progress. WICB considered it to be good, but still did not risk to have him reported again and waited till the one year period expires.

This is the story.

Chronological reports are available in his player profile (scroll down to see the headlines).

Sorry, I could not also manage time to read now, but I the above is what I can remember. There was no factor of injury.

Was he reported after the Bangladesh match? NOOOOOOOOO. He was reported immediately after his heroics against Australia. That's what my point was.
