Both bowlers have been unavailable since being reported for suspect actions during the ICC World Twenty20 in India in March.

The clearance of Taskin, a 21-year-old fast-bowler, paves the way for his return to Bangladesh’s one-day worldwide side for their upcoming three-match series against Afghanistan, starting on Sunday.

After independent assessments in Chennai, ICC barred both the bowlers from bowling in global cricket for illegal actions on Mar 19.

A lot of remedial work and re-assessments were carried regarding both the bowlers before the ICC allowed them to resume bowling in global cricket. Despite the ban, both of them went on to play domestic cricket in Bangladesh. The players then underwent a test in Brisbane on September 8.

To stay a bit more focussed on remodelling his action, Sunny did not play the first portion of the league, joining the tournament midway.
