Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to move a ‘review’ appeal to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to reconsider pacer Taskin Ahmed's suspension from bowling in international cricket.

A review notice will be sent to the ICC today after consulting with lawyers, said BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury.

“We are thinking about sending a review notice to the ICC. The matter is under process,” Bangla daily Prothom Alo quoted Nizamuddin as saying.

Earlier yesterday, BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon said at a press conference that he had spoken to ICC chairman Shashank Manohar and CEO Dave Richardson regarding the issue, after which the ICC, according to Papon, called its lawyers to discuss the observations on Taskin's report put forth by the BCB.

A youngster, Taskin Ahmed has been one of the pillars who has brought about the pace revolution in the spin-den of Bangladesh’s national cricket team.

On March 19, ICC banned Taskin and a spinner Arafat Sunny for their bowling action at a time when the team is competing at the Twenty20 World Cup being held in India.

The ban drew flak from Bangladesh cricket supporters who have expressed their bitter opinions in social media.
