Shakib-Al-Hasan Loses COOL; Throws Ball Angrily at Mohammed Rizwan During Pak vs Ban Test | WATCH
During the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh at Rawalpindi, Shakib-al-Hasan lost his cool and unnecessarily threw the ball at Mohammed Rizwan.
During the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh at Rawalpindi on Sunday, Shakib-al-Hasan lost his cool and unnecessarily threw the ball at Mohammed Rizwan. Initially, Rizwan did not know what exactly happened as he had pulled out while Shakib was into his delivery stride. Rizwan pulling out at the last instance did not impress Shakib at all. The incident took place in the 33rd over of the Pakistani second essay. Richard Kettleborough, who was the on-field umpire during this incident, was not too pleased with Shakib's act and hence reprimanded him straightaway. Kettleborough gave Shakib a stare while he walked back to his run-up for the next delivery. Shakib, then, appeared to apologise.
Here is the viral clip:
Meanwhile, this is not the first time in his life that Shakib has been warned of such behaviour on a cricket field.

Pak vs Ban AS IT HAPPENED
Resuming Sunday at 23-1 and 94 runs in deficit, Pakistan lost captain Shan Masood (14) in the second over of the day when fast bowler Hasan Mahmud found a faint edge and had the Pakistan skipper caught behind.
Masood argued with onfield umpire Richard Kettleborough for the second time in the test match after he was also caught behind in a controversial manner in the first innings, but the television replays clearly suggested the left-hander had got a little tickle to the ball after Bangladesh went for a successful television referral.
Hasan should have had Babar Azam out for a pair of ducks in the game, but wicketkeeper Litton Das spilled a simple catch off the first ball Babar faced. Babar tried to break the shackles and hit three boundaries before he dragged tall fast bowler Rana (1-30) when on 22.
Pakistan's middle-order batters were guilty of throwing their wickets away against the two spinners – Shakib and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
First innings century-maker Saud Shakeel needlessly tried to play an extravagant shot against Shakib and got stumped for zero for the first time in his short test career.
Abdullah Shafique also ran out of patience and went for an over ambitious shot against Shakib (2-24) and top edged a catch to point before off-spinner Mehidy (1-5) found the outside edge of Salman Ali Agha’s bat in his second over as Bangladesh further pushed for victory.
At the time of filing the copy, Pakistan lead by 29 runs with four wickets in hand. Bangladesh surely are in the driver's seat.
