March 12 (Reuters) - Sports news in brief from around the world on Thursday.

Cricket - Bangladesh left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak has been cleared of having a suspect bowling action by the International Cricket Council (ICC), Bangladesh's board said on Thursday.

The ICC banned Razzak from bowling after he was reported by the elite panel umpires Daryl Harper and Ashoka de Silva after a home series against New Zealand in October.

"His stock delivery and faster ball are now within the ICC tolerance level of 15 and his action was now legal," the Bangladesh board said in a statement. "As a result the previous suspension has been lifted."

Hockey - The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has dismissed security fears about visiting India following a slew of militant attacks in the region, insisting next year's World Cup would be staged in New Delhi as planned.

"The FIH World Cup will be played in 2010 in Delhi," the FIH's Arjen Meijer told the Indian Express. "We always listen carefully to our athletes and national associations and take their advice and requests into consideration." (Editing by Martin Petty)
