Shakib’s action was reported by the standing umpires while he was playing for Surrey in the County Championship match against Somerset in September.
Shakib completed an independent assessment at Loughborough University earlier this month, which found that the elbow extension in his bowling action exceeded the 15-degree threshold as defined in the Regulations.
The suspension is officially dated from December 10, the date when the ECB received the results of the assessment from Loughborough University.

This action follows the established protocol outlined in the ECB’s Regulations for the Review of Bowlers Reported with a Suspected Illegal Bowling Action.
To lift this suspension, Shakib Al Hasan must successfully undergo an independent reassessment of his bowling action.
Specifically, during this evaluation, the degree of elbow extension in his bowling must be measured and found to be below the 15-degree threshold stipulated in the regulations.
Notably, Shakib showcased his skills by claiming an impressive nine wickets during the aforementioned match for Surrey. This match marked his return to county cricket after a long hiatus since the 2010-11 season.
