But he was unable to fulfil his contracts in the Abu Dhabi T10 and the Big Bash last winter while charges hung over him, and has not played competitively since September 3.
ESPNcricinfo understands that his suspension was raised in a ruling on Tuesday evening. Evans has not been absolved of the charges and will face a hearing later this year, but he is free to resume his career.
He is on a white-ball-only deal with his county Surrey and could make his competitive comeback in the Vitality Blast in late May.
Evans’ name is also expected to feature on a revised longlist of players available in Thursday’s Hundred draft which will be circulated to teams later today.
As a short-form specialist, he could also make himself available for the inaugural season of Major League Cricket in the US.
The ECB and Surrey declined to comment.
