Coach did a shameful act in a match of Bangladesh Premier League
Khulna Tigers coach Khalid Mahmood was seen smoking in the dressing room
New Delhi. Bangladesh Premier League remains in headlines due to more controversies than cricket. Sometimes someone openly protests against the umpire’s decision and sometimes the players clash with each other. But now such a controversy has come to the fore, which has tarnished the dignity of the Gentleman game. Former Bangladesh captain and head coach of the Khulna Tigers team in the country’s cricket league BPL, Khalih Mahmood, has done something like this, since then strict action is being demanded against him. Actually, Khalid Mahmood was seen smoking cigarette sitting inside the dressing room during the live match. This photo of him went viral on social media.
Let us tell you that a day before, a match was played between Fortune Barishal and Khulna Tigers in Bangladesh Premier League. Tigers won the match by 6 wickets with 3 balls to spare. Tigers had to score 169 runs to win. In his way, Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored an unbeaten 64 in 43 balls. At the same time, Habibur Rahman also hit 30 runs in 9 balls. The command of Fortune Barishal was in the hands of Mehdi Hasan Miraj. At the same time, Shakib Al Hasan is also playing on behalf of this team.
Khulna Tigers had to score 9 runs in the last over to win. 1 run came on the first ball. After this, Habibul first hit a four and then a six off the third ball to give the Tigers victory.
The coach of Khulna Tigers lit a cigarette
The camera panned towards the Tigers’ tracing room before Habibul Rahman hit the winning shot. Then the team’s head coach Khalid Mahmood was caught on camera lighting a cigarette in the dressing room. A video of this went viral on social media. However, by the time Mehmood realized his mistake and put out the cigarette, he was caught on camera. Since then there has been a demand for action against him. Because according to the rules of cricket, cigarettes cannot be smoked in the dressing room. Anyway, smoking cigarettes in a public place is against the rules.
Khalid has also been seen smoking cigarettes in TV shows.
This is not the first time that Khalid Mehmood has been seen smoking in public. A few years ago, he was seen puffing a cigarette during a break in a live show. This has happened earlier in Bangladesh Premier League as well. Afghanistan’s wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Shahzad, playing in BPL last year, was seen smoking cigarette in the field before the match. After this he was fined.
