Jack Taylor has bowling suspension lifted

Jack Taylor, the Gloucestershire allrounder, has been passed to resume bowling his offspin by the ECB. Taylor was suspended in June after being found to have an illegal action for the second time in his career.

Taylor underwent remedial work after his bowling action was found to exceed 15 degrees. He was re-tested on July 28 and the ban has now been lifted with immediate effect.

Even without his bowling, Taylor has continued to feature in Gloucestershire's middle order. The 24-year-old has scored 602 runs at 43.00 in the Championship this season - behind only Chris Dent - and made his highest T20 score of 44 not out last week to help Gloucestershire top the NatWest Blast South Group table.

He was previously called in 2013, missing the rest of the season to remodel his action with the help of Gloucestershire and the ECB's national academy in Loughborough, before being cleared to resume bowling in February 2014.
