Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan remains banned from bowling in international cricket after failing an independent reassessment of his action.

Shakib, 37, was suspended from bowling in England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) competitions after he was investigated for his bowling action in his sole appearance for Surrey in the County Championship last season.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) subsequently confirmed the ban extended to all domestic cricket competitions outside Bangladesh and in international cricket.

The BCB said on Saturday that Shakib failed a reassessment in Chennai, India, last month, but added he is eligible to play as a specialist batter in all forms of cricket.

Shakib has previously said he plans to retire from international cricket after the Champions Trophy in March, but Bangladesh must now decide whether to select him as a batter alone in their 15-man squad for the 50-over tournament.

Former Tigers captain Shakib has played 71 Tests, 247 one-day internationals and 129 T20s for Bangladesh.

He has already retired from T20 internationals and has almost certainly played his final Test for Bangladesh, who do not have another Test scheduled before the Champions Trophy begins on 19 February.

The slow left-arm spinner was suspended from bowling in December after testing at Loughborough University found his elbow extension exceeded the 15-degree threshold allowed by ECB rules.

His action was flagged by the on-field umpires in a match for Surrey against Somerset in September.
