Sharjah: Bangladesh's promising off-spinner, Al-Amin Islam, has found his bowling action under review by the International Cricket Council (ICC) following a complaint lodged after his One Day International (ODI) debut against Afghanistan. The incident occurred during the recent tri-nation series in Sharjah, where Bangladesh faced a defeat against Afghanistan.
Al-Amin, aged 29, made his ODI debut on Wednesday, delivering 8.3 overs and conceding 47 runs. However, his performance was overshadowed by concerns raised by match officials regarding the legality of his bowling action. As per ICC regulations concerning illegal bowling actions, Al-Amin will now undergo an independent assessment at an ICC-accredited testing center. Despite the complaint, he is permitted to continue bowling in matches until the assessment results are declared.
The ICC stated, “Following the match against Afghanistan, match officials raised concerns about the legality of Al-Amin's bowling action in their report.” Bowlers are allowed to flex their elbow up to a maximum of 15 degrees during delivery. This development comes shortly after Al-Amin's T20 International debut earlier this month against Sri Lanka during the Asian Games.
In the ongoing tri-nation series, Bangladesh has faced consecutive losses against both Zimbabwe and Afghanistan. The final of the series, featuring Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, is scheduled for October 23.
