The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday (June 23)
cleared Brian Vitori, the Zimbabwe pacer, to bowl in international and
domestic cricket after his action was found to be legal, following the
remedial work and retest performed at the University of Pretoria on June
10.
Vitori was reported by the on-field umpires for
having a suspect action during the third Twenty20 International (T20I)
against Bangladesh in Khulna in January 2016, and was subsequently
banned from bowling.
A press release issued by the
ICC stated, "At the retest, it was revealed that the amount of elbow
extensions in Vitori's bowling action for all his deliveries that were
tested was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the
ICC regulations for the review of bowlers reported with suspected
illegal bowling actions."
However, the Zimbabwean pacer can be reported by the umpires in the future if his bowling action is found to be suspect.
The 26-year-old has played four Tests, 19 One-Day Internationals and 11 T20Is, bagging 42 international wickets.
