The last two batsmen at the crease, Rubel Hossain-Taizul Islam, shook hands with everyone, but none of Prime Bank’s players came to the field. Although it is an unwritten rule that the cricketers of the two teams shake hands at the end of the match, Tamim Iqbal did not show this courtesy to Mohammedan in the controversy over the catch out.
Before the match officials left the field, Tamim Iqbal came and spoke for a few minutes. Mohammedan experienced batsman Mahmudullah Riyad was present at this time. Mohammedan man of the match Rony Talukder faced this question after the match.
In response to the question of the two teams not mixing hands, this opener batter, however, pushed the ball to Tamim’s court, ‘We were on the field. The rest is up to Prime Bank. It’s up to them. I have no comment on that.’
In the second match of the Super League on Thursday, Mohammedan threw a target of 318 runs by Ronnie’s 141 runs. Prime Bank stopped at 284 runs to chase. The controversy started in the 34th over of the second innings. Abu Haider Rony took a great catch of Mushfiqur Rahim by jumping on the boundary line. But while going up with a dive, the foot steps on the boundary line.
Even though it was clear in the replay, the umpire gave out. Later left the matter to Mohammedan. Mushfiqur had to depart for 10 runs after Mohammedan did not comply. Prime Bank cricketers did not take this well.
Has it really caught on? Ronnie argues that since there are not enough cameras or a third umpire, it must depend on the fielder.
Ronnie knows that well. Because Ronnie took the catch. It all depends on Ronnie. It’s up to him to make the decision… because there were no cameras like that here.’
“If there was a third umpire, he could have seen it better. Now it’s up to the players. The umpire knows that. The umpire was on the field. They know very well. I said, whatever Rony says will happen’- added Rony Talukder.
