The International Cricket Council has banned many bowlers for having illegal bowling action and Bangladeshi cricketer Shohag Gazi is one of them. The ICC ruled that Shohag exceeded the 15 degree limit of arm extension in his bowling action. The news surprised many including Shohag himself. Shohag is an important member of Bangladesh cricket team and it is hoped that the Bangladesh Cricket Board will take every step to correct his faulty bowling action and pave the way for bringing him back in international cricket soon. Shohag is a promising cricketer and his career should not be marred by this incident.
We hope Shohag will fight back in international cricket soon by correcting his bowling action. Shohag has played so far 10 Test matches and 16 one-day international. In the Test matches he has scored one century and made two 5-wickets haul. In 2012 Shohag made his Test debut against the West Indies and caught fans' attention by his good performance. So far Shohag has the rare record of scoring a century and hat-trick in the same Test match. I hope this off-spinner will find his way back soon in the international cricket as his career is yet to fully blossom.
