Shakib Al Hassan faces ban in Dhaka Premier League after unruly on-field behaviour against umpires

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is set to banned for four matches of the ongoing Dhaka Premier League for unruly behaviour on Friday.

Shakib was caught on camera, kicking the stumps, knocking the bails off and aggressively arguing with the on-field umpire a couple of times after a few decisions went against him during the DPL match between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Abahani Limited.

Mohammedan skipper Shakib was first furious at the umpire's decision to deny him an lbw appeal against Mushfiqur Rahim and was then angered by the umpire's decision to take the players off the field with one ball remaining in the sixth over as the rain came down.

'We have not got any official letter so far but we have learnt that the umpires committee have recommended four-match ban,' Masuduzzaman told Cricbuzz on Saturday.

'We will appeal to the board and ask them that they must dig the matter and see why Shakib was prompted to take such a step. Naturally, it was not acceptable but at the same time we have to find out why it happened,' he said.

Shakib, who was banned from the sport for 2 years (one year suspended) by the ICC for failing to report corrupt approaches during IPL 2018, apologised for the latest controversy that he's courted.

“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,” part of Shakib’s statement on Facebook read.
