Bangladeshi fast blower Taskin Ahmed suspension from bowling in international cricket has been upheld by a judicial commissioner following a review hearing.The ICC said in a realise that Taskin had "exercised his right to request an unexpendious review to his case by judicial commissioner"following his suspension for an illegal bowling action.
The hearing was conducted via teleconference on Tuesday by Michael Beloff QC,the ICC appeals commissioner and according to the ICC "lasted several hours and and which numerious legal challenges were made on behalf of the player"Having carefully considered those argument and reponse of the ICC,Mrs Bellof has now notifed all parties concered of his decision of Tskin suspension bowling from international cricket shall be upheld and indicated that a written reasoned decision will be provided in due course."
Tskin may still apporoach the ICC for re-assessment at any time,the government board said following re madial work his action.
BCB CEONazimuddion Chowdhury said hearing lasted between four and five hours, and the BCB had grounds
for a reversal of the suspension but he did not elaborate. He said that
the BCB had pushed for an expeditious hearing with a view to have Taskin
cleared to play today's game against India. Taskin is still with the
team in Bangalore, but given he will now have to resort to the
long-drawn procedure around having his action reassessed before he can
bowl again, a decision will be taken on whether to send him back home or
keep him in India.
Taskin and left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny were suspended
from bowling in international cricket on March 19, after an independent
assessment found their bowling actions to be illegal. The pair were
reported after Bangladesh's World T20 first-round match against
Netherlands on March 9.
The BCB had filed
the notice of review on Monday.I understands that neither
the BCB nor Taskin were questioning the independent assessment report
but lodged the request for a review based on a procedural issue. Article
2.2.15 of the ICC's regulations states that: "in circumstances where
the Player contends that the ICC has not followed its own procedures… in
the lead up to and/or during an Independent Analysis, the Player shall
be entitled to seek a review of the procedural aspects of his case by a
Judicial Commissioner".
