Jalal Yunus, Head of BCB Cricket Operations said that we have talked about it

Head of BCB Cricket Operation Jalal Yunus said that we have talked about it. You have seen it on TV and everything happened in front of you. We had informed the umpires about the fake throw. But they said they didn’t notice it and that’s why they didn’t review. Shakib discussed this a lot with Erasmus and even talked to him after the game.

Apart from this, Jalal said that Shakib had requested the umpires to start the match late but it was not accepted. He said that Shakib had talked about the wet ground and he said that he can take some more time and let the ground dry, start the game after the ground is dry. The decision of the umpires is final and that is why there was no room for argument. Whether you would play or not was the only decision.

During the batting of Bangladesh team, in the seventh over, it seemed that Virat Kohli was relaying Arshdeep Singh’s throw

Significantly, during the batting of Bangladesh team, in the seventh over, it seemed that Virat Kohli was relaying Arshdeep Singh’s throw but the umpires did not pay attention. The batsmen also did not pay attention to it. However, it cannot be said that the allegations are true. It remains to be seen what the Bangladesh Cricket Board does next. It has been said to take the matter to the ICC.
