According to Cricbuzz, Jalal Yunus, BCB’s cricket operation chairman, Shakib also discussed the ‘false fielding’ issue with the umpires, but the worry downplay.
“We’ve spoken about it. You saw everything on TV, and everything happened right in front of your eyes. There one concerning a phony throw, and we inform the umpires about it. But he claim he did not observe it and hence did not take the review. Shakib talk about it extensively with Erasmus and even spoke with him after the game. ” According to the article, Jalal said.
Jalal further stated that Shakib had requested that the game resume after a rain delay since the outfield was still wet. However, their plea was denied.
“Second, Shakib mentioned the damp field and requested if he might take some additional time to allow the field dry before starting the game. But… the umpires’ verdict is final, so there was no room for debate. There was just one option: play or not play “he stated.
Jalal has now acknowledged that the BCB intends to express their concerns “in a suitable venue.” “We have it in our heads so that we may address the issue in the correct venue,” he said.
