Shakib Al Hasan, the former Bangladesh captain, has been cleared of suspect bowling action after the latest assessment of the same in a latest report published on Thursday, March 20. After failing the test twice over the last few months around his bowling action, there was a lot of criticism faced by one of Bangladesh’s greatest cricketers, but now, the 37-year-old will be breathing a massive sigh of relief to have gotten a clean chit.
Notably, due to the suspect bowling action, Shakib Al Hasan was reportedly not picked by the Bangladesh selectors in their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as a pure batter. The tournament was quite a forgettable one for Bangladesh as they were knocked out in the group stage after failing to win against India, New Zealand, and Pakistan, with the clash versus the latter being a washout.
