The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have confirmed that there are investigating an alleged altercation involving all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and a fan during the first ODI against India in Mirpur.

BCB acting CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury also noted that the board will hear both sides of the story before taking any action.

“We have heard of an incident which we will look into after the series,” Nizamuddin said. “Like you, we have heard of what happened but we haven’t seen. So we have to look at all sides before we can tell you anything more.”

Speaking about the incident at the post-match press conference, Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim said: “It was not in my control, and I hadn’t heard it when the incident happened.  was busy calculating what would have happened in case of a match taking place. It would be better to talk to the management. If I had known, I could have told you.

“I didn’t see what happened. A lot can be said. Whatever the public says, we have to bow our heads to them. So I would say it is not just his fault, but the whole team’s fault. It can be anyone, so the team has to be the sufferer.”
