Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday regretted the unfortunate happenings during Friday’s Nidahas Trophy match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
The Board accepts that conduct of the Bangladesh Team in certain instances was unacceptable on a cricket field.
In a media release on Saturday, BCB stated “We understand that the events may have transpired due to the importance of the match and the pressure that comes with it but feel that the expected level of professionalism was not exhibited by the team while dealing with a tense situation in the game”.
The Bangladesh Team members have been reminded of their responsibility in upholding the spirit of cricket at all times.
The BCB and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) have a lasting bond which has a deep-rooted history of support and cooperation and the players of both sides continue to share an excellent relationship that gets stronger by the day.
