Hasan Durham?s World Cup dream is still alive today after it was revealed that in-depth tests of his bowling action have proven he is not a chucker.

The veteran left arm spinner ? who is seen as a key element in Bermuda?s spin attack along with Dwayne Leverock and Delyone Borden ? was reported to the International Cricket Council in August after Bermuda?s opening Americas Championship game against Canada in Toronto, when umpires Ian Gould from England and Bermuda?s Roger Dill had suspicions that all was not right.

As a result, the Western Stars stalwart was forced to fly to the UK last month, where ICC-sanctioned bio-mechanics experts filmed his action from a variety of angles to determine whether he straightened his arm beyond the 15 degrees of ?flex? allowed under the law.

And a statement released yesterday from the BCB said the testing had shown Durham?s action to be ?within the ICC level of tolerance? ? allowing him to ?resume bowling in international cricket immediately?.

Asked for his thoughts last night, Durham refused to comment on the positive result, telling that he is ?not speaking to the media?.

National coach Gus Logie, however, who has always maintained that Durham would be cleared, expressed a desire to move on after a difficult few weeks for the player.

?As far as we are concerned Hasan has been vindicated by this report ? which of course we are very pleased with,? he said.

?This is welcome news for both Hasan and the national team and I look forward to being able to continue with our progress towards the World Cup.?

The definitive test result will bring to an end months of speculation and spur-of-the-moment judgements which have swarmed around Durham.

While there have been one or two whispers in the past from sceptical observers, Logie at least believes the problems started a few months ago when Durham began to experiment with different deliveries.

The Trinidadian has already revealed that Durham had been trying to develop a left-arm spinner?s version of a doosra ? a delivery made famous by Sri Lankan offspinner Muttiah Muralitharan which looks to be spinning in the normal manner (in Durham?s case from leg to off) but ends up doing the opposite.

It was the attempted doosra, Logie said, and probably the arm ball ? a quicker delivery that skids straight on ? that in his opinion might not have been legal, though there was ?absolutely nothing wrong with his action for the orthodox delivery?.

If Durham had been found to have an illegal action, he would have been suspended from all international cricket pending technical adjustments and further testing.

A second failure would have resulted in an automatic one-year ban.
