"He was okay and stable and we're awaiting the results," a Sri Lanka Cricket spokesman told British media.

Eranga's action was reported during the second test against England at Chester-le-Street last month and his action was found to be illegal after an independent assessment, the ICC said in a statement.

"The assessment revealed that all deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under the regulations ... As such, the fast bowler has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect," the statement added.

Sri Lanka play England in the first game of a five-match ODI series in Nottingham on Tuesday.
