Sohag Gazi has not played for Bangladesh since he was suspended from bowling over a flawed action in October last year. He was cleared to bowl in February after undergoing remedial work.

The 37-year-old Saeed Ajmal, who was suspended from bowling in international cricket last September, will be missing the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup because of suspension for illegal bowling action.

The International Cricket Council has so far suspended high profile bowlers like Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal, Sri Lanka's Sachitra Senanayake, Zimbabwe's Prosper Utseya and Bangladesh's Sohag Gazi in the last four months.

Saeed Ajmal and Sachithra Senanayake have already remodeled their bowling action while the Bangladesh Cricket Board has promised all necessary help to Sohag Gazi. All three off-spinners were banned by the ICC for illegal bowling action.

The latest suspensions come close on the heels of Saeed Ajmal's ban by the ICC. West Indian mystery spinner Sunil Narine was also reported twice during the Champions League Twenty20, where he was playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Bangladesh off-spinner Sohag Gazi must undergo testing within 21 days after being reported for suspected illegal bowling action in the side's loss against West Indies on Friday.

Chasing 248, New Zealand caved in for 207 in 46.4 overs to suffer their sixth successive ODI defeat to Bangladesh. Off-spinner Sohag Gazi and pacer Mashrafe Mortaza led Bangladesh's bowling attack, sharing six wickets between them to stifle New Zealand.

Sohag Gazi became the first cricketer in history to score a century and claim a hat-trick in the same Test, propelling him to instant stardom in the success-starved nation when he took on New Zealand earlier this month.

The 22-year-old off-spinner had Corey Anderson leg-before, Bradley-John Watling caught behind and Doug Bracewell caught in the slips off successive balls at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium.

Zimbabwe were 34 short of the follow-on by the end of play, with Malcolm Waller 30 not out and Elton Chigumbura unbeaten after a rapid 45 off 49 balls with five fours.
