The 28-year-old, who has played nine times for Australia, was reported for a suspect action during the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle earlier this month.

Subsequent independent testing has shown the bend in his elbow falls within the permitted 15 degrees, leaving him free to continue bowling.

“We are pleased for Matt that this matter is now resolved,” said Cricket Australia’s executive general manager national teams Ben Oliver.

“It has been a challenging period for Matt however he has carried himself exceptionally well.

“He has had the full support of Australian cricket and he can now move forward to the next phase of his international career with great confidence.”

Kuhnemann took 16 wickets in the two-Test series against Sri Lanka and has 25 in five Tests. He has also played four one-day internationals.
