Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is a relieved man after his bowling action was finally cleared after passing the third reassessment test in England. It's been a trying phase for the veteran over the last six months, both on and off the field, with the BCB eventually ignoring Shakib for the Champions Trophy as they didn't want to pick him as a pure batter. The 37-year-old felt that the whole matter could have been handled in a better way by the BCB.

"Look, I don't have any complaints, but if the communication was better in that case, I would have been happier," Shakib told Cricbuzz.

It is understood that the all-rounder had wished to have a week-long camp with his childhood mentor Mohammad Salahuddin before the appearing for the bowling test that he failed earlier. It meant that he couldn't get his bowling action cleared in time for the Champions Trophy and with his batting returns reducing in recent times, the selectors weren't keen on picking him as a specialist batter.
