Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been suspended from bowling in ECB competitions after playing just one match for Surrey last season.

The 37-year-old was investigated for his bowling action in Surrey's defeat by Somerset in September, the only match he played for the county, before they sealed a third County Championship title in a row.

His action exceeded the 15-degree threshold allowed by ECB rules, an independent assessment found.

"Shakib is ineligible to bowl in ECB competitions until he has passed an independent re-assessment of his bowling action," the ECB said in a statement.
