Shakib Al Hasan courts controversy with on-field behaviour

Shakib's anger got the better of him during his team Mohammedan Sporting's game against Abahani Limited.

Dhaka: Star Bangladesh cricketer Shakib Al Hasan had a shocking on-field meltdown during a domestic T20 match here on Friday, kicking stumps and arguing with umpires in a display of appalling behaviour for which he later apologised calling it “human error”.

Shakib’s anger got the better of him during his team Mohammedan Sporting’s game against Abahani Limited. The Dhaka Premier league encounter was eventually won by his team via the Duckworth-Lewis method. Shakib’s apology notwithstanding, kicking the stumps is as good as a Level 3 offence and could lead to one-match suspension for the former Bangladesh skipper.

“I am extremely sorry for losing my temper and ruining the match for everyone and especially those who are watching from home. An experienced player like me should not have reacted that way but sometimes against all odds it happens unfortunately,” Shakib tendered an official apology in his Facebook page.

“I apologise to the teams, management, tournament officials and organizing committee for this human error. Hopefully, I won’t be repeating this again in the future. Thanks and love you all,” he further wrote.
