England and Wales Cricket Board have lifted Jack Taylor's bowling suspension with immediate effect.
The 24-year-old Gloucestershire spinner was banned earlier this summer and forced to undergo testing after being reported for a second time for a suspected illegal action.
However, he has now been allowed to return to bowling in competitive county cricket after the ECB deemed his new action to be within the permitted 15 degrees of extension.
"ECB today confirmed Jack Taylor's suspension from bowling for England and in competitive county cricket has been lifted with immediate effect," read a statement released on Wednesday.
"This follows a reassessment as permitted within the ECB regulations that was carried out on 28 July 2016.
"This was subsequent to a period of remedial work undertaken by Taylor on his bowling action after an initial analysis in May 2016."
Taylor has taken 14 wickets at 30.64 in this season's Specsavers County Championship Division Two.
