Finally,
it has been found who broke the glass door of Bangladesh’s dressing room. According
to an eye-witness, who was one of the caterers, Bangladesh T20 skipper Shakib
Al Hasan was responsible for this damage. He informed the match referee Chris
Broad that Bangladesh premier all-rounder pushed the door forcefully which
eventually caused the damage.
The
CCTV footage was not clear enough to identify the person responsible for this
destruction. For this reason, match referee had to rely on working staff as an
eye-witness. It is yet to know if further steps will be taken against Shakib. However,
he has already been fined 25 percent of his match fees and handed one demerit
point for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct.
The
encounter between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the last group-stage match of the
recently-concluded Nidahas Trophy gave birth to a number of bitter incidents. The
incidents that took place in the penultimate over of the innings marred
Bangladesh’s thrilling victory against the host nation.
The
first two balls in the 19th over of Bangladesh’s innings were
bouncers. So, Bangladeshi players expected that the second one should be given
a no-ball, but the umpires did not signal it. As a result, Bangladeshi
substitute players engaged in a verbal clash with Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis. Seeing
this confrontation, Shakib, came down from the dressing room and standing at
the edge of the boundary, told his players to come off the field to show
protest against the on-field umpires’ decision.
