Mohammedan Sporting Club captain Towhid Hridoy has been suspended for one match following a heated altercation with on-field umpires Tanvir Ahmed and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat during a Dhaka Premier League game against Abahani at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Saturday.
Towhid Hridoy suspended for his argument with umpire
The incident happened when Mohammedan pacer Ebadot Hossain hit Abahani batsman Mohammad Mithun on the pads in the seventh over of the second innings. Umpire Tanvir Ahmed denied Ebadot’s forceful request for an LBW. The ruling led to a fight between the umpires and the Mohammedan players, with Ebadot and Towhid Hridoy at the center of the altercation.
Later replays confirmed that the ball had pitched outside the line, validating umpire Tanvir’s decision to give it not out.
“I can’t explain everything that happened. But a lot of things happened in the heat of the moment. They also make mistakes, but what I think is that they can make mistakes but I think that mistakes should be admitted, if I make a mistake, I will also admit it. But if you don’t admit the mistake and say that it is not a mistake, then I won’t have it. We respect the three international umpires. We are also international cricketers. In such a match, one or two decisions can make a big difference,” Hridoy said after the match.
