Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is banned from bowling in international cricket and domestic cricket overseas due to the suspension imposed on him by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for having an illegal action, confirmed the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today.

"The BCB has been informed that national team allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has been suspended from bowling in competitions under the jurisdiction of the ECB. As a result, Shakib is also suspended from bowling in domestic cricket competitions outside Bangladesh and in international cricket," a BCB media release read.

Shakib's suspension, which officially began on December 10, came to light on Friday when the English board announced that he can not bowl in ECB-run events until he proves his bowling action is legal in an ICC accredited testing centre.

However, according to clause 11.3 of the ICC regulations for illegal bowling actions, a suspension from a national cricket body is automatically recognised by the ICC and other national boards and enforced accordingly.

BCB confirmed that the ECB suspension on Shakib, which came following an independent assessment conducted at Loughborough University earlier this month, will be enforced accordingly.

BCB also informed that the all-rounder will soon go for a reassessment and there is no restriction on him to continue playing as a batter. Shakib is currently taking part in the Lanka T10 for Galle Marvels.

"While Shakib is currently unable to bowl, he remains eligible to continue playing as a batsman in all forms of domestic and international cricket. The BCB is aware that Shakib will soon appear for reassessment at an accredited testing centre in an effort to have his bowling action cleared.

"Should the results of this analysis clear his action, Shakib will be permitted to bowl in international cricket and in domestic cricket competitions under the jurisdiction of all National Cricket Federations."

Shakib's action was deemed suspect by the umpires during his lone appearance for Surrey in the County Championship in September.
