Taskin Ahmed suspension upheld by ICC Judicial Commissioner

Bengaluru, Mar 23 (UNI) In a setback to beleagured Bangladesh ahead of its crucial match against India in the ICC T20 World Cup group tie to be played here, the ICC today announced that Taskin Ahmed’s suspension from bowling in international cricket has been upheld, following a review hearing conducted by a Judicial Commissioner. Taskin was reported as having a suspected illegal bowling action by the match officials in Bangladesh’s opening match of the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 against the Netherlands in Dharamsala on March 9. He undertook an independent assessment at the ICC-accredited testing centre in Chennai on March 15. This independent assessment found that some of Taskin’s standard deliveries exceeded the permissible level of elbow extension and, as such, his bowling action was found to be illegal and he was suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect. Taskin exercised his right to request an expeditious review of his case by a Judicial Commissioner. The hearing was conducted yesterday by Michael Beloff QC over a tele-conference call that lasted several hours and in which numerous legal challenges were made on behalf of the player. Having carefully considered those arguments and the responses of the ICC, Mr Beloff has now notified all parties concerned of his decision that Taskin’s suspension from bowling in international cricket shall be upheld and indicated that a written reasoned decision will be provided in due course, a release from ICC said here . In the meantime, Taskin may, at any time following appropriate remedial work, apply to the ICC for a re-assessment of his bowling action, which shall be carried out in the same manner as the initial independent assessment. In the event of such re-assessment concluding that Taskin has remedied his bowling action and that his elbow extension is within the permissible level on all of his standard deliveries, his suspension shall be lifted and he shall be permitted to resume bowling in international cricket, the ICC further said. Taskin, along with Bangladesh left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny were suspended from bowling in international cricket after an independent assessment found their bowling actions to be illegal. The pair returned to the side to play in Bangladesh's first match of the Super 10 stage, against Pakistan at the Eden Gardens, where Sunny took 2 for 34 and Taskin claimed 2 for 32.
