25 degrees although his quicker ball was delivered at an average of 24 degrees. As a result, Abdur was suspended from international cricket, although he is allowed to bowl under supervision in domestic cricket, until he remodels his action. In March 2009, the ICC lifted Abdur's suspension after he changed his bowling action; now both his stock delivery and faster ball are legal. Return after suspension In July 2009, on Bangladesh's tour of the West Indies, Abdur represented Bangladesh in international cricket for the first time since his suspension. Omitted from the Test squad, he was called up for the one-day series. Abdur's performance in the first One Day International, for which he was awarded the man-of-the-match award, helped Bangladesh defeat the West Indies by 52 runs. He opened the bowling and took 4 wickets for 39 runs (4/39) against a West Indies side weakened by disputes between the players and the West Indies Cricket Board.

He took 15 wickets in the series which Bangladesh won 4–1 and was named Man of the Series. Late career At the start of November 2010, the BCB announced 16 central contracts. Abdur was one of six players in the top level. He was included in Bangladesh's 15-man squad for the 2011 World Cup. Zimbabwe returned to Test cricket in August 2011 with a one-off match against Bangladesh. Bangladesh lost the match, their first Test since touring England in June the previous year, with Abdur taking two wickets for 106 runs. In the subsequent five-match ODI series, Abdur was the least successful of the bowlers to deliver 20 overs or more taking two wickets in four matches as Bangladesh lost the series 3–2. When the West Indies toured in October he went wicketless in the ODI series and was subsequently dropped from the Test squad, which led him to consider the international retirement in 2014. On 28 March 2013 he took 5 wickets against Sri Lanka in the 3rd ODI and became the
