Bangladesh's former cricket all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan, confessed to deliberately resorting to chucking due to physical exhaustion during an English County game, leading to his suspension.

Sidelined by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for illegal bowling action, Shakib expressed regret while acknowledging his misjudgment after intense play.
