ECB ban Querl from bowling in county cricket

NORTH Devon’s Glenn Querl is one of two players banned from bowling by the ECB because of an illegal action.

Querl hasn’t played for North Devon yet this season as he has been attached to Hampshire. The Instow club were expecting him to play from mid-June onwards.

Querl and Gloucestershire’s Jack Taylor have both been reported on two separate occasions within a 12-month period and have undergone independent analysis.

"In both cases no previous evidence was available and hence their bowling actions were subject to the independent analysis process set out in the ECB regulations for the review of bowlers reported with suspected illegal bowling actions," an ECB statement read.

"This analysis took place on Monday 20th May 2013. The report of the independent analysis was received by ECB on Tuesday 28th May 2013."

It continued: "The reports identified that the bowling actions of each player displayed elbow extension in excess of the permitted 15 degrees during analysis.

“This analysis follows the same procedures used by (the International Cricket Council) in such circumstances.

"Consequently and in accordance with the regulations, both Querl and Taylor are suspended from bowling for England and in competitive county cricket until such time as they have submitted to a fresh independent analysis in which it is concluded that they have remedied their actions.

“The suspension is with immediate effect."

Zimbabwe-born 25-year-old Querl's only first-team appearance for Hampshire this season was against Loughborough MCCU when he finished with figures of 1-20 off 10 overs.

Querl has been playing second XI cricket for his county but has represented the Unicorns in three Yorkshire Bank 40 games, taking only one wicket.

Taylor, 21, has made four first-class appearances for Gloucester this season taking six wickets. He has previously played for Oxfordshire in the Minor Counties Championship.
