Taskin, Sunny boost for Bangladesh

KOLKATA: Bangladesh received a major boost ahead of their World Twenty20 opener against Pakistan with the return of left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny and pacer Taskin Ahmed, who were reported for suspect action.

"They have already been tested and will join us. We're still making plans, it all depends on the condition on whether to include them," Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza told reporters on the eve of their match.

Sunny and Taskin were reported for suspect bowling actions during their side's first qualifying match against the Netherlands in Dharamshala on Wednesday and were sent to Chennai for independent testing.

While the assessment report is yet to come, both the players are "free to bowl" as per the ICC regulations.
