The ICC formally notified the WICB of the clearance following a Biomechanical Bowling Analysis, which was conducted at the University of Western Australia, on May 25, by a research team headed by Professor Bruce Elliott.

Shillingford underwent five months of intense remedial work at the Sagicor High Performance Centre in Barbados and in his native Dominica.

West Indies A Team Head Coach Henderson Springer was specially appointed to work with Shillingford during the remediation process at the Sagicor HPC.

West Indies Head Coach Ottis Gibson, former Sagicor HPC Head Coach Toby Radford and current Sagicor HPC Head Coach Andre Coley also worked extensively with Shillingford.

They were supported by Dominican coach Thomas Kentish, who took charge while Shillingford was in his native island.

Shillingford’s action had been reported following the West Indies v Sri Lanka Test in Galle, Sri Lanka, last November.
