Bangladeshi All-Rounder Shakib Al Hasan got involved in offensive behaviour when he disrespected umpire’s call and also kicked the stump. He has been in such criticisms before and now again. When he appealed for an LBW in Dhaka Premier’s league match, the umpire gave it not out. He shouted and kicked the stump on the umpire’s side and argued with him. He has a lot of fans from India and worldwide and this behaviour was not expected from him. The Board might charge him with few punishments.

Shakib Al Hasan can be seen losing his cool over the umpire's decision and taking his anger out on the stumps on two different occassions during a Dhaka Premier League match.

Bangladesh all-rounder and former captain Shakib Al Hasan lost his temper during a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) game and can be seen in footage from a match kicking the stumps first, and later uprooting a whole set of them and flinging them to the ground.

Shakib, who is captain of Mohammedan Sporting Club, was first furious at the umpire's decision to deny him an lbw appeal against Mushfiqur Rahim in the match against Abahani Limited. He 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.

Shakib later apologised for his actions in a statement that he put up on his Facebook page. "Dear fans and followers, I am extremely sorry for losing my temper and ruining the match for everyone and especially those who are watching from home. An experienced player like me should not have reacted that way but sometimes against all odds it happens unfortunately," he said.

"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," he further said.

Shakib's anger got the better of him during his team Mohammedan Sporting's game against Abahani Limited. The Dhaka Premier league encounter was eventually won by his team via the Duckworth-Lewis method. Shakib plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in Indian Premier League (IPL).

Shakib's apology notwithstanding, kicking the stumps is as good as a Level 3 offence and could lead to one-match suspension for the former Bangladesh skipper.

"I am extremely sorry for losing my temper and ruining the match for everyone and especially those who are watching from home. An experienced player like me should not have reacted that way but sometimes against all odds it happens unfortunately," Shakib tendered an official apology in his facebook page.

"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," he further wrote.

During the match held at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, a Mushfiqur Rahim leg before appeal being turned down by the umpire led to the furious captain kicking the stumps.

On the second occasion, he ran from his mid-off position to uproot all the stumps at the non-striker's end when the two match officials called for a rain break with one ball left in the sixth over of the Abahani innings.

The footage of the incident since then has gone viral and it is believed that he was angry because one more delivery would have ensured that minimum six overs are completed for a match to yield a result.

The match did start eventually and his team won easily.

He was also caught on camera getting into an ugly altercation with former Bangladesh international and current BCB director Khaled Mahmood Sujon.

The 34-year-old Shakib has scored over 10,000 international runs and picked nearly 600 wickets across formats and considered one of the finest spin bowling all-rounders in contemporary cricket.

Shakib had earlier hit the headlines for wrong reasons in 2019 when he was slapped with a two-year ban, one year suspended, for not reporting a corrupt approach.
