Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been reported by the umpires due to a suspect bowling action during his one-off appearance for Surrey in this season's County Championship.

Shakib was asked to undergo analysis of his bowling action by the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Shakib scalped nine wickets for Surrey in a thrilling Championship clash against Somerset at Taunton in September where the all-rounder bowled more than 63 overs and picked up nine wickets. However, it has now been learnt that the on-field umpires, Steve O'Shaughnessy and David Millns, subsequently deemed his bowling action to be suspect.

Better to be reported for a suspect action in England than lynched in Bangladesh.
