Dhaka, Bangladesh: The International Cricket Council has suspended Bangladesh left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak for an illegal bowling action, pending a fresh assessment.
The sport's world governing body said yesterday Razzak's suspension followed an independent analysis in Australia that confirmed his bowling action was suspect under current ICC regulations.
The bowling review was ordered after he was reported by umpires Daryl Harper and Asoka de Silva for a suspect action at the end of Bangladesh's home series against New Zealand in October.
There were no immediate comment from Razzak or the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
