THE STORY
In June 2021, during a Dhaka Premier League match between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Abahani Limited, Shakib Al Hasan, playing for Mohammedan, kicked the stumps after an LBW appeal was turned down by umpire Imran Parvez. Later, when play was halted due to rain, Shakib uprooted and threw the stumps in frustration. These actions led to a three-match suspension and a fine of 500,000 taka (approximately $5,900) imposed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. (aljazeera.com)
