Match referee has asked for more footage


This is what happens when controversies shroud the game. Despite the fact Mahmudullah Riyad played such a valiant knock to take Bangladesh to the coast of victory, all people are talking about is the notoriety surrounding the game.
After a Sri Lankan player pushed Quazi Nurul Hasan Shohan when he took drinks after Mustafizur’s run-out—coupled with Bangladesh’s discontent at the umpires for not awarding a no-ball, things took an ugly turn when the glass door of the dressing room at the Premadasa stadium was shattered by some of the Bangladeshi players while celebrating.
Match referee Chris Broad has looked into the incident via a CCTV footage from a camera that was facing outward. In it, he saw some Bangladeshi players running down the steps in front of the dressing while the glass shattered to bits and scattered all over the stairs.

Broad also got some statements from the catering staff as to the players who were responsible for the incident, but he is reluctant to take their word and make a decision. Instead, he has asked for the footage from the outer camera looking in towards the door.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board have also offered to pay for the damages caused by the ruckus.
