So, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is going to review the bowling action of Razzak before he faces an International Cricket Council’s (ICC) assessment. The BCB decide to send the video footage of Razzak’s action to experts in Australia very soon.

According to the Daily Times the BCB’s cricket operations committee chairman Enayet Hossain said “As per our bowling review committee’s observation his action has improved but we need to take suggestions from experts, which is why we sent the footage to Australia.”

Razzak was suspended from bowling in international match after on-field umpires Daryl Harper and Asoka de Silva reported his suspect bowling action during the home Test series against New Zealand played in October 2008. His elbow extension ranged between 22 to 28 degrees and on average 25 degrees. His quicker ball ranged from 22 to 28 degrees with an average of 24 degrees, whereas the ICC rules allow bending of the arm up to 15 degrees. But BCB hopes positively that Razzak will back soon with left-arm orthodox spin by overcoming the shortcoming according to ICC rules.
