Bhaji cleared conditionally

Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has been given a provisional clearance to bowl, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced in a statement on Sunday.
Harbhajan's action was brought under the scanner after a recent home series against Pakistan but the ICC said he could continue if he bowled with the action that was cleared during tests in Australia earlier this year.
The decision follows a report by bio-mechanist Marc Portus who felt that the bowler used a different action during the Pakistan series but was unable to reach a conclusion.
"There is no doubt that the action analysed in the University of Western Australia showed Harbhajan bowling with an action that is in accordance with the regulations," said ICC General Manager of Cricket, David Richardson. "The analysis of the action used during the Pakistan match identifies some differences including the position of the feet and the speed of the delivery. "However, Portus was unable to reach a definitive conclusion on the action used against Pakistan because of the quality of the footage and the camera angles used.
"On this basis the ICC has advised the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that Harbhajan is able to bowl in international cricket provided his action is consistent with that used in the University of Western Australia laboratory.
"Should his action deteriorate, it is possible that the match referees would again report him and this would raise the prospect of further bio-mechanical analysis," said Richardson.
The Indian cricket board was relieved at the decision.
"We welcome the decision and believe that no bowler is licensed to throw. But at the same time, if a prima facie case cannot be established against the bowler, he should be allowed to play with a free mind," said BCCI secretary Karunakaran Nair.
"This cricket-friendly decision would not only lift the morale of Harbhajan, but also other bowlers around the globe," he added.
Richardson said Harbhajan would be given an opportunity to understand the points of concern.
"The chance to sit with Harbhajan and his coach to talk through the points raised will provide the best opportunity for him to avoid concerns arising in the future," said Richardson.
Harbhajan was reported for a suspect action for the third time in his career by match referee Chris Broad at the end of the second Test against Pakistan in Kolkata in March.
Broad was especially concerned by Harbhajan's away-going "doosra" delivery.
Harbhajan, who has taken 199 wickets in 45 Tests and 120 wickets in 98 one-dayers, was also reported in 1998 but returned after remedial work.
