Shakib’s Bowling Action Fails Re-Evaluation, Remains Barred from Bowling

Sports Desk

Shakib Al Hasan’s bowling action remains illegal following another failed assessment in Chennai. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the results in a press release on Saturday night, stating that Shakib could not clear the re-evaluation conducted at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science.

The BCB announced that the Champions Trophy squad will be revealed on Sunday at 12:30 PM.

Shakib is still barred from bowling in international cricket and can only return after passing another assessment. However, he remains eligible to play as a batter.

Sources indicate that Shakib is unlikely to be included in the Champions Trophy squad solely as a batter. With Tamim Iqbal already retired, this will be the first ICC tournament in 18 years where Bangladesh will compete without both Shakib and Tamim.
