Allan Douglas Jr, the Bermuda cricketer, has been found to have legal bowling action after undergoing a Home Board Analysis.

The off spinner was reported for a suspect action by the umpires during a match against Singapore at the Pepsi ICC Division Three tournament in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in October.

Under the ICC Regulations for the Review of Bowlers, Douglas was required to submit to a Home Board Analysis, with a written report of the outcome to be provided cricket’s governing body.

The Cleveland County captain is now permitted to continue bowling in international cricket.

Should he be reported again within the next two years, the St George’s Cup Match player will be required to submit to an ICC Analysis.

The BCB was given 21 days to submit a report on Douglas’s action after it was reported as suspect, with the deadline then extended for another two weeks.

The ICC have been clamping down recently on suspect bowling actions of bowlers at Test level, mostly off spinners.

Saeed Ajmal, of Pakistan, and several other spinners have been suspended just months before the World Cup, hosted by Australia and New Zealand next year.

Ajmal’s absence could hamper Pakistan’s chances in the tournament. Sohag Gazi, of Bangladesh, Prosper Utseya, of Zimbabwe, and Kane Williamson, of New Zealand, have also been reported and suspended since the ICC’s meeting in June, where recommendations were made for stronger scrutiny of bowling actions.

The timing of the ICC’s clampdown has been the subject of debate, given that the World Cup starts on February 14.
