Shakib Al Hasan Nearly Hits Rizwan with Ball, Umpire Issues Warning in PAK vs BAN 1st Test

Shakib Al Hasan has once again made headlines for his aggressive behaviour on field.

Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh’s star all-rounder known for his passionate approach both on and off the field, made headlines during the Test match against Pakistan at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 25 August. 

A dramatic event on the fifth day of the Test saw a face-off between Shakib and Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan. During Pakistan’s second innings, in the 33rd over, Rizwan unexpectedly backed off from his stance, disrupting Shakib’s delivery. 

In a moment of frustration, Shakib threw the ball towards Rizwan’s end, targeting his wicketkeeper, Litton Das. The throw narrowly missed Rizwan, prompting the umpires to call it a dead ball, briefly stopping the game.
