Shakib Al Hasan's bowling suspension confirmed after re-assessment failure

Shakib Al Hasan's suspension from bowling remains after he failed an independent re-assessment in Chennai, India. The Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed he cannot bowl but can play as a batsman in all competitions. Shakib was initially suspended in December for exceeding the allowed elbow extension during a test in the UK. He was previously scrutinized during a match for Surrey in September. Despite the suspension, Shakib is eligible for selection as a specialist batter for the Champions Trophy starting on February 19 in Karachi.
