Bilal's activity was accounted for after match authorities inspected video footage of the offspinner from the third ODI in which Pakistan traveled to a seven-wicket win.
The news comes as a hit to the Pakistan team after the promising bowler and all-rounder turned out to be just the fourth spinner to dismiss five or more batsmen in an ODI with no assistance from other fielders.
Bilal made his presentation on October 3 and got 5 wickets for 25 keeps running in just his second match, the third best rocking the bowling alley figures by a Pakistan offspinner in ODIs — just behind Saqlain Mushtaq's 5 for 20 in 2000 and Saeed Ajmal's 5 for 24 in 2013.
Pakistan held Bilal for the Zimbabwe ODI series to assess his accreditations in front of a Test arrangement with England and to fill the crevice left by Mohammad Hafeez, who has been banned for one year for an illegal bowling action.
