Gloucestershire off-spinner Jack Taylor banned from bowling

Gloucestershire off-spinner Jack Taylor has been suspended from bowling after being reported for a second time for a suspected illegal action.

The 24-year-old, who has taken 14 wickets at 30.64 in this season's Specsavers County Championship, served a previous suspension in 2013 and has again been reported for analysis by the England and Wales Cricket Board.

An ECB statement read: "Taylor's bowling action was 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 May 26.

"The report of the independent analysis was received by ECB on June 1. The reports identified that Taylor's bowling action 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, Taylor has been suspended from bowling for England and in competitive county cricket until such time as he is submitted to a fresh independent analysis in which it is concluded that he has remedied his actions. The suspension is with immediate effect."
