Bangladesh left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny and pacer Taskin Ahmed were on Saturday suspended for bowling with an illegal action by the ICC. Both bowlers underwent assessments in Chennai last week, after being reported for suspect actions during the World T20 round-one match against Netherlands.
Left-arm spinner Saqlain Sajib will replace Sunny in Bangladesh's World T20 squad, while Taskin will be replaced by offspin-bowling allrounder Shuvagata Hom.
These two are not the first Bangladesh bowlers to be suspended for an illegal action.
- Offspinner Sohag Gazi was suspended from bowling in October 2014, and he was cleared after a second test in February 2015.
- Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak was the first Bangladesh bowler to be suspended, in November 2008, before the ban was lifted in March 2009.
- Al-Amin Hossain was also reported for a suspect action in 2014, but was cleared after an assessment in Chennai.
