Can there be a diurnal cycle if earth was not spinning?

That depends on what you're relating the spin to. If the Earth did not spin relative to space itself, there would be a diurnal cycle. However, each 'day' would last half a year, with the other half occupied by one night. If the Earth did rotate, but did not rotate relative to the Sun, we would be in much the same situation the Moon is in with us - one face always showing to the Sun, the other always hidden. In this scenario, we would have no diurnal cycle.
