Year ban for Taylor after more illegal bowling

GLOUCESTERSHIRE’S Jack Taylor was yesterday suspended from bowling for a year after his action was found to be illegal for the second time.

The off-spinner, who has served two previous bans from bowling in 2013 and 2016, was again reported for throwing this summer and underwent independent testing last month at Loughborough University.
