Al-Amin cleared of illegal action

KHULNA, Nov 5 (AFP): Bangladesh fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain has been cleared of an illegal bowling action following independent tests, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced Wednesday.

Hossain, 24, was reported during the first Test against the West Indies in St Vincent in September, but tests conducted in India revealed his deliveries were legal as per ICC regulations.

"During a comprehensive analysis it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension in Al-Amin's bowling action for all deliveries was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations," a statement from the world governing body said.
