According to a statement issued by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the 26-year-old was reported by match officials after his team’s World Cup qualifying match against West Indies on June 18.
After reviewing footage of Phillip’s bowling action, the Event Panel determined that he employed an illegal bowling action, leading to his suspension from international cricket in accordance with Article 6.7 of the regulations, as stated in ICC’s statement.
Phillip’s suspension will remain in effect until he undergoes a reassessment of his bowling action, which must conclude that his technique complies with the legal standards.
During the ongoing World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe, Phillip represented USA’s squad and made an impressive start by taking three wickets in their opening match against the West Indies.

However, the USA team has faced consecutive defeats in their first three matches of the qualifying event. Their most recent loss, a five-wicket defeat to the Netherlands in Harare on Thursday, has left them at the bottom of Group A. They have one remaining group match against Zimbabwe, scheduled for Monday.
