Merchant cleared to bowl in regional competitions

Jamaica Scorpions off-spinner Jamie Merchant has been cleared to bowl in upcoming regional competitions. The 30 year old was reported for a suspect bowling action during his side's game against Canada on November 16 at Warner Park in St Kitts in the recently concluded Super50 Cup.

Video footage from the match was sent to Loughborough University in the United Kingdom for an opinion report in accordance with Cricket West Indies (CWI) regulations for dealing with suspected illegal bowling actions. The opinion report by an independent assessor at Loughborough was inconclusive.
