Bangladesh players allegedly broken dressing room door while celebrating victory
Colombo: It has been reported that while celebrating their win over Sri Lanka, a Bangladesh player allegedly broke the glass door. Bangladesh were chasing 160 for a place in the Nidahas Trophy semi-final and they won on the penultimate ball of the game.
But, the broken glass has thrown in more work for match referee Chris Broad. While he has seen the footage, he has also asked the ground staff to name the player who has done the damage. According to latest updates on the incident by espncricinfo, Broad said that the names taken by the catering staff cannot be understood as facts and he would need to look further into the footage from the outside looking in. The report adds that Bangladesh’s team management have offered to compensate for the damage caused.
During the virtual semifinal clash between the two teams, tempers flared on the field when Bangladesh required 12 runs off the last over. The first ball by Isuru Udana was a short-pitched delivery which was a dot ball. The second one, which was seemingly at a chest angle, created a stir after Bangladesh players demanded appealed for a no-ball, saying it was a bouncer. Mustafizur Rahman failed to connect any bat on the ball and was dismissed by a run-out, which caused the tensions to break out between Bangladesh sub-fielders and Sri Lanka fielders.
While Shakib Al-Hasan asked his players to come back to the pavilion, and threatened to stage a walk-off, the umpires came out in the middle to diffuse the tension. Luckily, common sense prevailed and the match continued.
Even after the winning six by Mahmudullah, that sealed the match in the visitors favour, there was little customary handshake as players continued to show anger. Kusal Mendis, who is known generally for his cool and calm behaviour, was seen arguing with Bangladesh players, but was controlled on the field by Tamim Iqbal.

Using power to create Hindu-Muslim rift not in state or country's interest: Rahul on Sambhal clashes
New Delhi, Nov 25: A day after violence rocked Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the BJP's use of power to create a rift between Hindus and Muslims was neither in the interest of the state nor the country.
He also urged the Supreme Court to intervene in the matter as soon as possible.
Three people were killed and scores of others, including security and administration personnel, injured on Sunday as protesters opposing a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque in Sambhal clashed with police. A fourth injured person died on Monday.
In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, "The biased and hasty attitude of the state government on the recent dispute in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, is extremely unfortunate. I express my deepest condolences to those who have lost their loved ones in the violence and firing."
The administration, without listening to all the parties, insensitively took action that vitiated the atmosphere further and led to the deaths of people -- for which the BJP government is directly responsible, he charged.
"The BJP's use of power to create a rift and discrimination between Hindu-Muslim communities is neither in the interest of the state nor the country. I request the Supreme Court to intervene in the matter as soon as possible and do justice," Gandhi said.
The former Congress chief also appealed for peace and mutual harmony.
"We all have to join together to ensure that India moves forward on the path of unity and constitution, not communalism and hatred," Gandhi asserted.
The district administration has already imposed prohibitory orders and barred the entry of outsiders till November 30 following Sunday's clashes.
Internet services were soon suspended in Sambhal tehsil for 24 hours and the district administration declared a holiday in all schools for Monday.
Violence broke out in the district as protesters opposing the survey of the Jama Masjid clashed with security personnel. The protesters torched vehicles and pelted the police with stones while the security personnel used tear gas and batons to disperse the mob.
Tension had been brewing in Sambhal since November 19 when the Jama Masjid was first surveyed on the court's orders following a petition claiming that a Harihar temple had stood at the site.
On Sunday, trouble started early when a large group of people gathered near the mosque and started shouting slogans as the survey team began its work.
District officials said the survey could not be completed on Tuesday and was planned for Sunday to avoid interference with afternoon prayers.
Deputy Inspector General of Police (Moradabad) Muniraj told reporters on Monday that Naeem, Bilal and Nauman -- the three men who died in Sunday's violence -- had been buried. All three were aged about 25.
He later confirmed the death of a fourth person.
Divisional Commissioner (Moradabad) Aunjaneya Kumar Singh said on Sunday, "Shots were fired by miscreants... the PRO of the superintendent of police suffered a gunshot to the leg, the circle officer was hit by pellets and 15 to 20 security personnel were injured in the violence."
A constable also suffered a serious head injury while the deputy collector fractured his leg, he had said.
The Congress on Sunday alleged that the Adityanath administration was squarely responsible for killing innocents and only the BJP-RSS was guilty of "setting fire" to peace and harmony in Sambhal.
The opposition party had said the videos of direct firing on the protesters depicted the horrifying result of a "well-planned conspiracy" by Adityanath and the BJP-RSS.
संभल, उत्तर प्रदेश में हालिया विवाद पर राज्य सरकार का पक्षपात और जल्दबाज़ी भरा रवैया बेहद दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है। हिंसा और फायरिंग में जिन्होंने अपनों को खोया है उनके प्रति मेरी गहरी संवेदनाएं हैं।
— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) November 25, 2024
प्रशासन द्वारा बिना सभी पक्षों को सुने और असंवेदनशीलता से की गई कार्रवाई ने माहौल और…
