Match officials, however, cited concerns about the legality of Asif's bowling action in their report, the International Cricket Council said in a statement on Tuesday.

"He is required to undergo testing within 14 days, and, during this period, Bilal is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the testing are known," the statement added.
