Star Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has been cleared to resume bowling in English cricket matches after a re-assessment of his bowling action.

The England and Wales Cricket Board said the 37-year-old has passed tests of his action at Loughborough University earlier this month.

"The re-assessment found that Shakib had remedied his action to within the prescribed 15-degree threshold as defined in the ECB Bowling Review Regulations," a statement on Thursday said.

Shakib's action had been reported by the standing umpire while he was playing for Surrey against Somerset in September.

He then failed an independent assessment at Loughborough University which prompted his bowling suspension from December 10.

The suspension meant he was ruled out of the Champions Trophy earlier this year as Bangladesh were reluctant to include him as a specialist batsman.

The former Tigers captain Shakib has played 71 Tests, 247 one-day internationals and 129 T20Is for Bangladesh.
