The week’s events around Shakib Al Hasan have been “extremely insulting” says Nazmul Hasan
“It (Shakib’s outburst) has spread so much internationally,” Hassan told Jamuna TV. “I am getting non-stop calls from all over the world. This is extremely insulting for Bangladesh. I think there’s no point in playing domestic cricket until and unless we find out the solution. It has reached an extreme point. It has ruined all the good work we have done.”
Hassan said he hadn’t yet received any complaints from the clubs, which would have to come through the captain’s report at the end of the match. But there have been murmurs of biased umpiring and allegations of under-performance during this tournament.
“They haven’t shown me anything as proof. I am only seeing documents signed by managers and captains from matches. There’s no complaint from anyone, so who will give me the allegations? I have still asked them to find out what’s going on. Matches are being recorded now. It is not just hearsay. We will definitely take action,” he said.
Hassan stressed that the BCB is spending a lot of money to maintain a bio-bubble for all 12 DPL clubs and match officials, so he expects a clean competition.
“I am not in favour of running domestic cricket until I find a solution. We have to solve the problem first. We hear from people, from the media, and Facebook that everything is pre-planned.
“If that’s so, there is no point of running these games, that too during Covid, and spending one million dollars as additional cost for the bio-bubble,” he said.
