This request came after on-field umpires raised concerns about the legality of his action during his one-off appearance for Surrey in the County Championship. The 37-year-old all-rounder was reported by umpires Steve O'Shaughnessy and David Millns after delivering more than 63 overs during a crucial match against Somerset at Taunton in September, reported ESPNcricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The fixture marked Shakib\u2019s return to the County Championship for the first time since his stint with Worcestershire in 2010-11. He joined Surrey on a short-term contract, stepping in to support their push for a third consecutive Championship title at a time when Surrey\u2019s ranks were thinned due to eight players\u2019 absence on England duty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Notably, both of Surrey\u2019s frontline spinners, Will Jacks and Dan Lawrence, were unavailable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite Shakib\u2019s impressive showing, where he claimed nine wickets, Somerset managed a remarkable comeback, securing a 111-run victory and temporarily halting Surrey\u2019s title march.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Shakib was not penalised with any no-balls for throwing during the match, the umpires nevertheless deemed his action to be \"suspect,\" raising enough concern for the ECB to initiate a review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Currently, Shakib is not suspended from playing, and negotiations are underway to arrange for him to undergo an official analysis in an approved testing facility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
ESPNcricinfo has reported that the evaluation is likely to take place in the coming weeks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This marks the first time Shakib's bowling action has come under scrutiny in his extensive career. Over two decades, Shakib has made a significant impact on the global cricketing stage, amassing a total of 712 wickets across 447 international matches, including 246 in 71 Test matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
