Zimbabwe left-arm fast bowler Brian Vitori's bowling action has been found to be legal, the ICC confirmed, following remedial work and a re-test performed at the University of Pretoria on June 10.

The re-test revealed that the bend at Vitori's elbow was within the permissible 15-degree limit for all his deliveries. He is now free to resume bowling in international cricket and at domestic tournaments worldwide.

Vitori's action had been reported after the third T20I against Bangladesh in Khulna on January 20, and he was subsequently suspended in February.

Vitori, 26, has played four Tests, 19 ODIs and 11 T20Is for Zimbabwe after making his international debut in August 2011.

Good for him

[Kriterion_BD]

That is remarkable he fixed his action so quickly. He was probably bending his arm at 40-50 degrees!

Right instead of throwing him in at the deep end as is ZC want play him in the A team against South Africa let's see if he still has it

[TapsC]

his accuracy was already questionable.I wonder how his new action will affect him. definitely a better option than Muzarabani for me.we need at least 1 guy bowling in the 140s

ZC will probably hire him as a coach now.
