South African off-spinner Johan Botha has received the green light to play again, but has not been given permission to bowl his variety of "Doosra".
Botha was recently cited for his bowling action, but tests in Australia found that, with one exception, there is no problem. The exception is Botha's doosra, the delivery that turns away from the right-hand batsmen. He has been banned from bowling this delivery.
Botha was cited in the recent one-day series against Australia and he underwent the tests at the University of Western Australia in Perth. Had he been found guilty of chucking, he would have been suspended for a year.
