Shakib cleared to bowl in ECB competitions

Shakib Al Hasan’s suspension from bowling in ECB competitive county cricket and The Hundred has been lifted.

The Bangladesh all-rounder passed an independent re-assessment on his bowling action at Loughborough University earlier this month.

The re-assessment found that Shakib had remedied his action to within the prescribed 15-degree threshold as defined in the ECB Bowling Review Regulations.

Shakib’s action had been reported by the standing umpires while he was playing for Surrey in the Rothesay County Championship match against Somerset in September 2024.

He then failed an independent assessment at Loughborough University which prompted his bowling suspension from 10 December 2024.
