Waller's action found to be legal

Malcolm Waller's bowling action has been found to be legal upon reassessment, and the Zimbabwe allrounder can now resume bowling in international cricket, the ICC has announced.

Following remedial work at the University of Pretoria earlier this month, Waller underwent reassessment, which concluded that the amount of elbow extension in his offspin deliveries was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under ICC regulations.

Umpires can report Waller in the future if they believe his action is suspect or that he is not reproducing the action that has been declared legal during this assessment.

Waller was reported after the second Test against Bangladesh in Khulna in November 2014. Following an assessment carried out in December, his action for his offspin deliveries was found to be illegal, and he was suspended from bowling in internationals.
