ECB lifts Jack Taylor’s suspension from bowling

10 February 2014

Gloucestershire Cricket is pleased to announce that the ECB has today confirmed that Jack Taylor’s suspension from bowling for England and in competitive county cricket has been lifted with immediate effect.

This follows a reassessment as permitted within the ECB regulations that was carried out on 4 February 2014.  This was subsequent to a period of remedial work undertaken by Jack Taylor on his bowling action after an initial analysis in May 2013.

ECB will make no further comment on this matter.

Gloucestershire Cricket's Director of Cricket, John Bracewell, said:  "This is great news and a lot of credit must go to Jack himself for the dedication and determination he has shown throughout what must have been a very tough time in his life.

"I must thank our coaching staff.  In particular, specialist spin bowling coach, Richard Dawson, who has put in hour after hour with Jack and Chris Bodman for his work on mind management.  Lastly, thanks to the University of Gloucestershire for allowing us access to their first class 3D test facilities.

"Good job guys.  Jack can now get on with his career."
