Bangladesh's woes continued as fast bowler Taskin Ahmed's suspension from bowling in international cricket was upheld at a review hearing conducted by Michael Beloff, the International Cricket Council's judicial commissioner, on Tuesday.

The ICC said Taskin had 'exercised his right to request an expeditious review of his case by a judicial commissioner' following his suspension for an illegal bowling action.

According to the ICC, the hearing lasted several hours and in which numerous legal challenges were made on behalf of the player.

"Having carefully considered those arguments and the responses of the ICC, Mr Beloff has now notified all parties concerned of his decision that Taskin's suspension from bowling in international cricket shall be upheld and indicated that a written reasoned decision will be provided in due course," read a statement from the ICC.

In the meantime, Taskin, at any time following appropriate remedial work, can apply to the ICC for a re-assessment of his bowling action.
