Shakib Al Hasan reported for suspect bowling action while playing for Surrey

Veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been reported by the umpires due to a suspect bowling action while playing for Surrey in this season's County Championship. However, Shakib was asked to undergo an analysis of his bowling action by the England and Wales Cricket Board as well.

However, Shakib claimed nine wickets for Surrey in a thrilling Championship clash against Somerset at Taunton in September where the all-rounder bowled more than 63 overs and scalped nine wickets. However, it has now been learnt that the on-field umpires, Steve O'Shaughnessy and David Millns, subsequently considered his bowling action to be suspect as well.

Shakib al Hasan was considered as one of the best all-rounders in world cricket

Meanwhile, it was Shakib's first appearance in the competition since a brief period with Worcestershire in 2010-11, having decided to play for Surrey for a short term as eight players were absent on national duty. It is also understood that Shakib al Hasan is not suspended from playing but he will need to undergo further tests in an approved location soon as well.

However, Shakib al Hasan's bowling action has never come under scrutiny during his more than 17-year career, which saw him claim 712 wickets across 447 international matches.

Shakib al Hasan announced his retirement recently

"The matter (Shakib's suspect bowling action) has no connection to international cricket or domestic cricket in other countries. The matter is under ECB jurisdiction and not related to ICC or other boards," a BCB official said on Monday when he was asked if Shakib wants to further play domestic cricket in England in that case he will have to appear in a test.

However, Shakib al Hasan was not picked for the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. He also insisted that he needed some more time to recover after being asked not to return home to play his farewell Test against South Africa as well - the thing he wished for while announcing his retirement as well.
