Brian Vitori, the Zimbabwe pacer, has been suspended from
bowling in international cricket for 12 months after an
independent assessment, the International Cricket Council
(ICC) announced on Monday (December 26).
Vitori was reported during the clash against Sri Lanka in
Bulawayo on November 27 and it was found that some of
Vitori's deliveries exceeded the 15-degree limit. He was also
suspended in January this year but worked on his action and
was allowed to bowl in June.
Vitori is free to appeal against the suspension but can
undergo a re-test of his action only on completion of the
suspended period.
"Vitori can appeal against any procedural aspect of an
independent assessment that has led to this automatic
suspension," the ICC said in a release. "However, only after
the expiry of this one-year period will he be entitled to
approach the ICC for a re-assessment of his bowling action."
Vitori has played four Tests, 20 One-Day Internationals and
11 Twenty20 Internationals so far picking up 45 wickets
across formats.
