Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak has been banned for illegal bowling action by the International Cricket Council, Bangladesh cricket team manager Shaqul Haq Hira told us on Monday.
He cannot bowl in any form of cricket during the embargo, Hira said.
He would be taken though corrective measures to be cleared by the game's governing body.
Razzak had travelled to Canberra for independent analysis of his bowling action after he was reported for a suspect bowling action by Daryl Harper and Asoka de Silva during the two-Test series against New Zealand at home in October.
Umpires Daryl Harper and Asoka de Silva reported that they had concerns over the 26-year-old spinner's faster ball and and hence requested the ICC to review his action.
Razzak was assessed by Marc Portusa, a member of the ICC panel of human movement specialists, appointed in consultation with the Bangladesh Cricket Board, at the Australian Institute of Sports on Nov. 17.
He left for Australia on Nov. 15 at the end of the ODI series against South Africa, and returned on Nov. 18 to rejoin the squad.
This is the second time Razzak has been reported for the same offence in his career. The first instance was during an Asia Cup match against Pakistan in Colombo in 2004 in what was only his second one-day international.
Razzak has taken seven wickets in five test matches and claimed 110 victims in 79 one-day internationals.
