Sri Lankan newspaper claims that Shakib Al Hasan caused the damage of the dressing room door


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.
