Four spinners reported for suspect action during the Dhaka League

Four bowlers have been reported for suspect actions after the first day of the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League. All the bowlers suspected are spinners. Left-arm spinner Moinul Islam and off-spinner Mustafizur Rahman of Gazi Group Cricketers, Abahani Limited’s left-arm spinner Amit Kumar, and Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club’s left-arm spinner Rejaul Karim were the bowler who came under the scanner of the umpires.

Gazi Group’s head coach Mohammad Salahuddin said he was notified of the report at the end of their shock 106-run win over Prime Bank Cricket Club in Mirpur on Friday. Moinul and Mustafizur had made their List A debuts in the match.

“The umpires gave a piece of paper to our manager, which said that [Mustafizur Rahman] Bashar and the left-armer Moinul have been reported. I spoke to the umpires later and they said some of their deliveries were suspect. But they can continue playing until the board tells us anything,” Salahuddin told ESPNcricinfo.

It is also understood that Abahani will continue to use Amit until further notification.

Apart from informing the teams, the umpires submitted the report to the BCB’s umpires committee, which is supposed to hand it over to the bowlers review group. However, the review group – tasked with handling reported bowlers – has not been formed yet.

Rejaul had been reported for a suspect action in 2006-07 too and was cleared to bowl in the subsequent season.

The Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League is the top One-Day competition in Bangladesh. It attracts top players in the country and foreign players along with rising young talents. The famous names who are going to feature in the tournament include Taijul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Upul Tharanga and Nazmul Hossain. Taskin Ahmed and Arafat Sunny, the Bangladeshi bowlers, who were suspended for illegal action during the 2016 ICC World T20 are also set to play the tournament.

According to article 6.1 of the ICC’s rules relating to a reported illegal action, a bowler banned from bowling in international cricket will be allowed to bowl in domestic matches ‘under the supervision and with the consent of his/her home board’.
