Bangladeshi cricketer Shakib Al Hasan has failed a second test for his bowling action, resulting in a lifetime ban from bowling in both domestic and international cricket.
The decision follows an investigation into Shakib’s bowling action during the England County Championship last year, where he was found guilty of employing an improper technique. After his initial suspension, a second test confirmed the continued irregularities in his action.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officially announced the ban, stating that Shakib will no longer be eligible to bowl in any form of professional cricket. This ruling is expected to significantly impact Shakib’s career, as he has been a pivotal figure in Bangladesh’s cricketing success, excelling as both a bowler and batsman.
The BCB emphasized its commitment to upholding the integrity of the game and ensuring compliance with international bowling standards. This marks a serious blow to the all-rounder’s cricketing aspirations, leaving Shakib to focus solely on his batting if he continues his career.
