Shakib Al Hasan Cleared to Bowl Again: A Comeback for the Veteran All-Rounder
Former Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has received the green light to resume bowling after successfully passing a reassessment of his bowling action. This marks a significant return for the veteran all-rounder, who was suspended last December for an illegal bowling action, which kept him out of the prestigious ICC Champions Trophy.
Shakib’s Journey Back to Bowling
After his suspension, Shakib faced a tough journey to regain his eligibility. He underwent an independent bowling action test in December that unfortunately did not go in his favor. However, determination paved his way to success as he cleared a subsequent reassessment, enabling him to bowl in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and various global leagues.
“The news is right, and I am cleared to bowl again,” Shakib confirmed to Cricbuzz, expressing his relief and excitement about returning to the bowling crease. Although he did not disclose where this assessment took place, the news is undoubtedly a turning point for his career.
Future Prospects
Shakib’s last competitive appearance was against India in October 2024. His absence from the game has been felt, especially during Bangladesh’s ICC Champions Trophy campaign, where he had hoped to make a significant impact. With an away series against Sri Lanka on the horizon, Shakib’s return to the team could provide a much-needed boost.
Despite participating in last year’s IPL auction and the PSL draft in January, Shakib found himself without a contract. However, with his bowling action now cleared, the doors for opportunities in various leagues are wide open once again.
