The former Bangladesh captain played one match for Surrey during the competition - their thrilling loss to Somerset in the latter stages of the competition. After the game, Shakib was reported by the standing umpires for a suspected illegal bowling action.

Shakib completed an independent assessment of his bowling action at Loughborough University earlier this month, which found his elbow extension in his bowling action was more than the 15 degree limit allowed in the regulations. His suspension will be dated back to the assessment date, which was December 10, 2024, and will continue until Shakib has passed an independent re-assessment of his bowling action. The suspension only prevents Shakib from bowling in ECB competitions, and he will still be able to play in them as a specialist batter.

Shakib took nine wickets in the match against Somerset, bowling 63 overs in total. He wasn't no-balled by the umpires at any point.

"The matter has no connection to international cricket or domestic cricket in other countries. The matter is under ECB jurisdiction and not related to ICC or other boards," said a Bangladesh Cricket Board official at the time of Shakib's suspension, as per Cricbuzz.

Shakib's international future is in significant doubt following the sudden deposition of Bangladesh's government earlier this year, and protests against him in Bangladesh. He has not played for Bangladesh since their Test series in India earlier this year, with BCB president Faruque Ahmed stating that he is not "in a mental state to play for the country" on the announcement of Bangladesh's ODI squads to take on West Indies.
