Jack Taylor suspended from bowling by ECB

28 May 2013

Gloucestershire County Cricket Club today announced that, with immediate effect, Jack Taylor has been suspended from bowling by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).  Below is a copy of the ECB’s official release.

“Glenn Querl and Jack Taylor suspended from bowling by ECB

Two bowlers have been suspended from bowling, having been subject to the ECB process for bowlers with suspected illegal bowling actions. Hampshire’s Glenn Querl and Gloucestershire’s Jack Taylor have both been reported on two separate occasions within a 12-month period and have undergone independent analysis.

In both cases no previous evidence was available and hence their bowling actions were subject to the independent analysis process set out in the ECB regulations for the review of bowlers reported with suspected illegal bowling actions. This analysis took place on Monday 20th May 2013. The report of the independent analysis was received by ECB on Tuesday 28th May 2013.

The reports identified that the bowling actions of each player displayed elbow extension in excess of the permitted 15 degrees during analysis. This analysis follows the same procedures used by ICC in such circumstances.

Consequently and in accordance with the regulations, both Querl and Taylor are suspended from bowling for England and in competitive county cricket until such time as they have submitted to a fresh independent analysis in which it is concluded that they have remedied their actions. The suspension is with immediate effect.

ECB will make no further comment on this matter.”

Gloucestershire County Cricket Club will make no further comment at this stage.
