What happened in the field
In the first Bangabandhu T20 Cup tie, Dhaka captain Mushfiqur Rahim was seen twice raising his hand towards his teammate Nasum Ahmed.
For the first time in the 13th envelope of the second inning, Team Fortune Barisal’s Afif Hossain took the run pushing Nasum’s ball into the circle. Nasum and Mushfiqur Rahim rushed to catch the ball.
Then Mushfiqur was seen holding the ball and looking at Nasum.
Mushfiqur Rahim then motioned for him to stay behind the seal.
Later in the 18th, when Afif Hossain served the ball and went to the short and thin leg, Mushfiqur Rahim ran to catch the ball.
Nasum Ahmed was the outfielder in the same place. He also went to catch the ball first, but then saw Mushfiqur and backed away. Then Mushfiqur grabbed the catch and struck Nasum again in the same way.
Then the cricket fans reacted in various ways through social media. Most of the fans condemned him, but there were also words of support from many fans.
What Nasum Ahmed told BBC Bangla
Speaking to BBC Bangla, Mushfiqur Rahim’s teammate Nasum Ahmed did not want to say much about it.
When contacted by phone, he said: “Nothing happened in the game. We played, we won. What happened outside of that could provoke anger in the game.”
“Part of the party”: this is how Nasum Ahmed wanted to see the incident. He said nothing serious happened here. This is what happened in the field.
Previously, Nasum Ahmed was called up for the Bangladesh vs. Zimbabwe squad. Despite not playing for the national team, this spin-bowler is on the selectors’ radar.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board or tournament authorities have yet to comment on this.
