The results from the Chennai testing centre are expected within the next couple of days. This delay has also prevented the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) from finalising their Champions Trophy squad.

Shakib remains under consideration, with BCB president Faruque Ahmed expressing his desire for Shakib’s return to the team on January 3. Additionally, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has reportedly approved Shakib’s inclusion for the ODI format.

BCB's chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain said on Wednesday that he heard that Shakib has undergone a second bowling action test in Chennai, but couldn't confirm the details.

"It was very shocking to hear that Shakib couldn't pass the bowling action test [at Loughborough]. I will have to find out whether he has tested himself again. We have to wait for this information. The board hasn't instructed us fully on Shakib. I think every minute counts. I am sure we can clarify this in a day or two." Gazi said.

Shakib’s bowling action came under scrutiny during an English county match in September, leading to intervention by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

As per clause 11.3 of the ICC’s regulations on illegal bowling actions, his suspension was automatically enforced by the ICC for international cricket and implemented by national boards for their domestic tournaments.
