Shakib bowling ban remains after failed reassessment

Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan’s suspension from bowling in all competitions organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will remain in place after he failed an independent re-assessment.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced on Saturday that Shakib failed the independent re-assessment test conducted at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in Chennai, India last month.

“While Shakib is currently unable to bowl, he is eligible to continue playing as a batsman in all forms of domestic and international cricket,” the BCB said in a statement.

So, Bangladesh are free to pick the 37-year-old as a specialist batter for the Champions Trophy, with the eight-team competition kicking off on February 19 in Karachi.

The former Bangladesh skipper was suspended from bowling in December, after initial independent assessment at the testing centre of Loughborough University in the ***, for exceeding the maximum permitted elbow extension of 15 degrees.

His action was scrutinised by on-field umpires in his one-off appearance for Surrey in September – his first appearance in the County Championship since the 2010-11 season.
