(Reuters) - Sri Lanka spinner Akila Dananjaya has been allowed to resume bowling in international cricket after remedial work and a reassessment of his action, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Monday.

Dananjaya was reported for a suspect bowling action following Sri Lanka's first test against England in Galle in November and suspended the following month after an independent committee found it to be illegal.
