Mohammedan captain Towhid Hridoy, along with his teammates then protested the decision vehemently. Umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat, stationed at the striker’s end, intervened to calm the situation but was soon drawn into a heated exchange.
Matters escalated as Hridoy approached Saikat, raising his finger and engaging in an animated discussion. Senior player Mushfiqur Rahim quickly stepped in to defuse the situation.
Following the incident, Mohammedan captain Hridoy was penalized for breaching Level 2 of the Code of Conduct by showing dissent towards the umpire’s decision.
He has been suspended for one match.

Speaking about the controversy after the match, Hridoy hinted at more revelations, stating, "If things escalate, I will speak out, In Sha Allah."
When asked for clarification, Hridoy said, “I can’t explain everything, but in the heat of the moment, a lot can happen. Umpires can make mistakes—they’re human, just like us. But when a mistake is made, it should be acknowledged. If I make a mistake, I will admit it. But if you refuse to acknowledge it and claim it wasn’t a mistake, that’s not acceptable. We respect international umpires, but we are international players too. In matches like these, one or two decisions can make a huge difference.”
