In a big blow for Bangladesh, their bowling duo of Taskin Ahmed and Arafat sunny has been handed suspensions from bowling in international cricket on Saturday (19 March). Sunny and
Taskin had gone through bowling assessments in Chennai last week, after they were reported for suspect actions during their T20 WC, 2016 qualifying match against Netherlands.The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the announced development through a media release. It read: "Independent assessments have found the bowling actions of Arafat Sunny and Taskin Ahmed to be illegal and, as such, both the bowlers have been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect.
"Arafat's analysis revealed that the elbow extension for majority of his deliveries had exceeded the 15 degrees' level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Regulations, while not all of Taskin's deliveries were legal," the release added.
The pair will, however, be allowed to play in domestic cricket, but they must do so with the Bangladesh Cricket Board's approval.
