Posted on by cbtfhome

Afghanistan cricketer Mohammad Shahzad has been reprimanded by match officials after being spotted smoking at the cricket ground. His action was caught on camera during the Bangladesh Premier League. 

On Friday, after the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match between Comilla Victorians and Minister Group Dhaka was paused due to rain. Mohammad Shahzad was seen wandering along with his teammates from Minister Group Dhaka for a BPL match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. As all the players were waiting for that match to begin, Shahzad was seen smoking in the middle of the ground.

Shahzad’s action was found to be in breach of Article 2.20 of the BCB code of conduct, which pertains to “conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game”, and hence a demerit point was added to his disciplinary record. Reports say Dhaka coach Mizanur Rahman had warned Shahzad of his act while senior batsman Tamim Iqbal had asked him to go inside the dressing room.

However it was too late, the picture of Shahzad went viral on social media . Mohammad Shahzad is a part of Dhaka playing XI consecutively in BPL 2020. BCB’s chief match referee and convener of the technical committee Rokibul Hasan expressed his disappointment on Shehzad’s act and criticized the wicketkeeper. “It contradicts the code of conduct. Smoking on the ground is strictly prohibited. It’s unacceptable. If he is not aware of this, the match officials should warn him,” Hasan was quoted

The strangest dismissals in the sport’s history was happened in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Friday. Andre Russell was dismissed run-out while trying to take a single during the second match of the ongoing BPL between Minister Group Dhaka and the Khulna Tigers.

In the 15th over of the first innings, a weird was happened. Russsell nudged a slower delivery bowled by Perera towards Short Third Man and scampered through for a single. Mahmudallah on the other end, managed to complete the run with ease despite the fielder managing to hit the stumps at the striker’s end.

A throw from Khulna Tigers fielder, Mahedi Hassan hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end and removed Russell as he was swapping positions with his batting partner Mahmadullah. What’s strange is that the ball deflected off the stumps at the wicket-keeper’s end, where the fielder had intended to throw the ball and then hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end, achieving two direct hits with just one throw.

Despite, Russell’s bizarre dismissal, Dhaka managed to post a formidable total of 183/6 in 20 overs courtesy of crucial knocks from Tamim Iqbal, Mohammad Shahzad and Mahmudullah.
