Merchant cleared to bowl

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has cleared Jamaica Scorpions off-spinner Jamie Merchant to bowl in senior domestic West Indies matches.

Merchant, 30, 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 Colonial Medical Insurance Super50 Cup.

Video footage from the match was sent to Loughborough University in the United Kingdom for an Opinion Report in accordance with CWI Regulations for Dealing with Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions.

The Opinion Report by an Independent Assessor at Loughborough was inconclusive.
