5 instances when Bangladesh disrespected others teams
There have been numerous incidents when Bangladesh players or fans have shown unruly behaviour towards oppositions.
1. U19 World Cup 2020 Final Fiasco
Bangladesh created history by defeating India in the final of the U19 World Cup 2020 in South Africa. The Bangla Tigers won the nail-biting clash by three wickets (DLS method) to claim their first-ever ICC trophy at any level. However, both teams were involved in plenty of ugly altercations and it overshadowed Bangladesh’s epic triumph.
One that stood out took place after Rakibul Hasan hit the winning runs and the entire Bangladesh camp came running onto the field. The body language of Akbar Ali (Bangladesh captain) & Co. seemed pretty hostile towards the Indian players and something offensive was said to the Men in Blue which resulted in a heated argument.
India’s U19 captain Priyam Garg termed the opposition’s reaction as ‘dirty’. Bangladesh's skipper stated that the incident should not have happened and apologized to the Indian team on behalf of his teammates. The Bangla Tigers were slapped with suspension points for their inappropriate behaviour.
