Shabbir Ahmed (born April 21, 1976 in Khanewal) is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a line-and-length pace bowler who took eight wickets for 109 runs on his Test debut against Bangladesh in the first of their 2003-04 three-Test series. Until now he has taken 51 wickets in just 10 Tests, but in 2005 he was reported to the ICC for an illegal bowling action. Following an investigation into his action, Ahmed was banned from cricket for one year in December 2005. It has been rumoured that he will probably be ruled eligible to bowl again after his suspension ends, and may be considered for a recall by Pakistan [1], [2], [3].
