The International Cricket Council (ICC) has cleared the bowling actions of Bangladeshi off-spinner Sohag Gazi, following remedial work and retests, said a press release.
According to the press note released by the ICC, at the retests, it was revealed that the amount of elbow extensions in the offspinner's bowling actions for all their deliveries was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations for the review of bowlers reported with suspected illegal bowling actions.
Sohag's retests were held at the Sri Ramachandra University in Chennai on January 24.
He was reported for a suspect action in Bangladesh's second ODI against West Indies in August last year and was suspended from bowling in October after he was tested in Cardiff.
He had been working towards a remedy with Bangladesh spin coach Ruwan Kalpage, under whose supervision he had bowled in the nets during the Zimbabwe series.
Besids, Pakistani offspinner Saeed Ajmal has also been cleared to bowl.
He was suspended from bowling in September after his action was deemed to be illegal for all deliveries. Before he was banned, tests revealed his elbow extension was going up to 42 degrees on average, leading to his suspension.
