Shakib Al Hasan, the world's number one
all-rounder has apologized for losing his temper during the present Dhaka
Premier League match between Abahani and Mohammedan.
Mohammedan captain Shakib saw his
leg-before-wicket appeal against Mushfiqur knocked down in the fifth over of
Abahani's batting, which enraged him so much that he ran up to the umpire and
kicked the stump.
That was not the end of the story. The
umpires requested for the covers to be thrown on because of the heavy clouds in
the sky, but Shakib walked in and threw down the stumps before leaving the
pitch because the later ball would offer Mohamedan a chance to win using the
D/L technique.
On his Facebook page, he, on the other hand, apologized for his misbehavior.
"Dear fans and followers, 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. 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 ❤️ SAH,"
Shakib posted on Facebook.
