Shakib Al Hasan, on Friday, June 11, found himself tangled in a controversy after he entered into a heated altercation with the on-field umpires during the ongoing Dhaka Premier League (DPL). In the match against Abahani Limited, the skipper of the Mohammedan Sporting Club was seen showing dissent at the umpire’s decision and thereafter kicking the stumps down.

The Khulna-born was then seen flinging all the three stumps on the ground and the scenes seemed like turning pretty ugly at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. The 34-year-old Shakib also had an argument with Khaled Mahmud Sujon, the opposition head coach. Whether or not the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) takes an action against him remains to be seen.

Even as a section of the netizens reckoned that Shakib did the right thing by protesting, a few of them reckoned that his actions were uncalled for, bearing in mind his stature as an international cricketer. Later, Shakib also issued an apology for losing his temper.

In the meantime, Umme Ahmed Shishir, Shakib’s wife backed her husband after the controversial circumstances. She came down hard on the critics, slamming them for “highlighting only the anger” and not delving deep into the “eye-catching decision of the umpires”.

Shishir, who’s married to Shakib since December 2012, didn’t mince any words in saying that her spouse has intentionally been portrayed as a villain. Shishir took to her official Facebook account to drop her opinions on the matter and lend Shakib support.

“I’m enjoying this incident as much as the media is, finally some news on tv! It is great to see the support of the people who can see the clear picture of today’s incident at least someone has the guts to stand against all odds. However, it is sad to see the main issue getting buried by the media highlighting only the anger that he showed.

“The main issue is the ongoing eye-catching decisions of the umpires! The headlines are really saddening. To me, it is a plot against him that has been going on for a while to portray him as the villain in all circumstances! If you are a cricket lover beware of your actions!”
