Bangladesh off-spinner Aliss Al Islam has been reported for suspect bowling action during the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Tri-Series match against Afghanistan, International Cricket Council announced on Thursday (October 22).

When mystery spinner Aliss was picked for the tri-nation ODIs, It had queried BCB chief selector Habibul Bashar if he some action issues, but Bashar insisted that it was fine. “We picked him because he is bowling and no problem was found as far as his action is concerned,” Habibul had told this website.

Aliss's action was questioned because he had been penalized in 2019 for "suspicious action" in his first T20 game for Dhaka Dynamites in the Bangladesh Premier League.

Aliss was allowed to bowl, but in 2025, while playing for Chittagong Kings against Dhaka Capitals in the BPL, he was called again for suspect bowling action. He was only allowed to continue his career after being cleared later in the BCB testing center.

“The off-spinner will undergo an Independent Assessment of his bowling action at an ICC Accredited Testing Centre in accordance with the ICC Illegal Bowling Action Regulations,” said ICC.
