NEW DELHI: Bangladesh fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib found himself at the center of controversy during a Bangladesh Premier League match while representing Sylhet Strikers against Khulna Tigers.
The incident occurred on the first ball of the 17th over when Tanzim dismissed Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz. It was a clever slower delivery, and Nawaz was completely deceived, offering an easy catch to short third man.

The two players began arguing, leading to a heated altercation, with Tanzim pointing towards the dressing room. Nawaz appeared visibly frustrated, but other players stepped in to separate them and prevent further escalation.
Earlier in the season, Tanzim had also been involved in a minor scuffle with Towhid Hridoy and had been part of some banter at the international level as well.
Recently, star India batter Virat Kohli shoulder-bumped Australian debutant Sam Konstas during the opening day of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Melbourne.
The collision quickly escalated into a heated exchange between the two players. Australian opener Usman Khawaja and umpire Michael Gough intervened, stepping in to mediate and diffuse the situation.
