'I Was Doing It A Little Bit Intentionally': Shakib Al Hasan On His Illegal Action Playing For Surrey
Shakib Al Hasan: Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has revealed that he had been bowling with an illegal bowling action "intentionally" during his stint with Surrey in 2024 after which he was reported for a suspect action and subsequently getting suspended.
After his actions were deemed unlawful at an independent testing at Loughborough University in December of last year, Shakib was banned from bowling in all ECB-organized contests. In international cricket, his suspension was automatically imposed in accordance with ICC standards.
"I think I was doing it a little bit intentionally because I bowled more than 70 overs [in one match]," Shakib told the Beard Before Wicket podcast. "I never bowled 70 overs in my career in a Test match. I was playing that four-day match for Surrey against Somerset in Taunton. I was so tired.
