Mar. 18 (TBS) - During the post-match presentation, Mushfiqur Rahim celebrated the win by mocking Angelo Mathews' 'timed out' dismissal during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as he gestured with a broken helmet.

The 'timed out' controversy was reignited as Bangladesh's veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim recreated Angelo Mathews' helmet malfuntion incident after the Tigers' ODI series win at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Monday.

During the post-match presentation, Mushfiqur Rahim celebrated the win by mocking Angelo Mathews' 'timed out' dismissal during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as he gestured with a broken helmet.

Mushfiq urged everyone to gather for a team photo as the winners' trophy was placed in front. He brought along a helmet, hinting at the incident with Mathews during the World Cup. The entire team burst into laughter at that moment.

When asked about this at the press conference, Bangladesh captain Shanto calmly stated, "Nothing much, just a celebration with the helmet."

Sri Lankan player Janith Liyanage, who attended the press conference mentioned that he didn't see the scene and thus refrained from commenting. Sri Lanka's bowling coach Navid Nawaz, who was present, simply said, "No comments."

Both chuckled at that moment.

In the match, it was an 18-ball 48 not out from the no.8 batter Rishad Hossain that helped Bangladesh clinch what was eventually an easy win by four wickets and 58 balls to spare against Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI at Chattogram.

The result also helped the hosts claim a 2-1 series victory in the ODIs after losing the T20I series by the same 2-1 margin earlier on and two Tests still left to play against the same opposition.

After the T20I series victory, Sri Lankan cricketers celebrated mocking the same by pointing towards their wrist.

That was a fitting celebration by Bangaldesh. Our swollen-headed fellows can't swallow the Mathew's dismissal which was within the law and celebrated mocking it when they won the T-20. Now it is pay back time.

How these two cricket love nations are losing their respect to each other? Why they can not tolerate each other any more for small small things? What is the root cause? There must be something acting as a de-modifier.

Inshi Monday, 18 March 2024 09:21 PM

Grow up boys. This is a gentleman's game. Is this a message to the manufacturer of the helmet? Cannot see the funny side as it has become stale.

Raj Monday, 18 March 2024 10:11 PM

Don't they have remember this dialogue "Get up, Prince of Troy. Get up. I won't let a stone take my glory". Now too late, they let a helmet take their glory!

Both are clown teams looking for attention

Cricketing standards have dropped

Irad Haque Tuesday, 19 March 2024 03:41 AM

Don't know why Sri Lanka and Bangladesh team are acting like school boys!? These two nations are friendly since long. They have good socio-economic relation. Cricket relation between these two countries were so friendly since Ranatunga, De Silva, Jaysuria used to come to play Bangladesh domesric cricket league. We acknowledge their support and contribution to our cricket. Not sure if any intruder is trying to destroy our relation including the cricket relation? Who is trying to inject fuel? They are trying to shift the cricket rival from 'that country' to Sri Lanka. Maybe it's a game plan of them!? SL and BD team, lets forget everyting and start a new journey with love and respect.

This sordid action does not in any way humiliate the Sri Lanka team. To the contrary, it epitomizes the lowest depths to which the game has fallen in the hands of these wretched scoundrels. They have no idea at all about the spirit of the game. Besides, Angelo was ready to take the strike in 1 minute and 55 seconds.

Ravi Tuesday, 19 March 2024 06:32 AM

We have right royally earned the ridicule. Don’t forget the USD 2.5 billion they loaned us several months ago because of our political heroes

Our national cricketers are supposed to be our ambassadors. Looks like they are doing a honest job not hiding our real character. They lack moral education.

Anton Weerasinghe Tuesday, 19 March 2024 09:06 AM

Tit for tat, I don't blame the Bangladeshis, our fools should have behaved like gentlemen's in the first instant. When they won the T20 series.

Mithun Tuesday, 19 March 2024 09:09 AM

Mushfiqur did tit for tat but for the experience Cricketer like Mushfiqur action is not acceptable. But the way young cricketer Liyanage has handled the press was amazing. Senior Srilankan Cricketers should learn from him.

Lion Tuesday, 19 March 2024 10:11 AM

It seems that the bangladeshi midget is going radical now.

wsw Tuesday, 19 March 2024 10:27 AM

I expected more from Angelo Mathews, he should have copped it on the chin and moved on, without making a mockery of it. It's time we now also introduce a "decorum" unit to train our cricketers to act with grace, in victory or defeat.

wsw Tuesday, 19 March 2024 10:30 AM

Janith Liyanage for the captaincy ? He speaks well, conducts himself well and bats well.

Rathu Hatharasbolay Tuesday, 19 March 2024 10:46 AM

For the nextcelebration SL must take a glass door to the stage

Sumon Das Tuesday, 19 March 2024 10:49 AM

Celebration from both the country after winning the T20 and one day series seems funny and interesting. But honestly I am enjoying the rivalry. All the players from both countries are eager to proform there best. Everybody are trying there best. They already entertain us with there best efforts. Test Series are coming soon. Hoping for some interesting matches. Thanks for both the teams. Sumon, Bangladesh.

Dharma Tuesday, 19 March 2024 11:14 AM

It is not a good gesture from Rahim who is out of bounds.All Bangladesh cricketers should not be blamed for the ugly behavior of a few. But of course Rahim is ugly.Coach has a role to correct these untruly behavior of his charges.

Mohammed Mohammed Tuesday, 19 March 2024 12:06 PM

Repulsive celebration from a repulsive nation. That rahim guy looks so ugly.

Ray Fernando Tuesday, 19 March 2024 01:31 PM

Musfuqur proved himself just a joker, most of these types of cricketers know nothing beyond bat and ball. There is no spirit of cricket, that was the starting point of such a time out appeal by a set of of guys wanting to win by any means and not gentlemen who play this game today.

Terrence K Tuesday, 19 March 2024 02:12 PM

There should be a full stop to this type of nonsense by both teams. The Sri Lanka Cricket Board and the Bangladeshi Cricket Boards should bring about forfeiture of match fees if any team member violates the code of conduct. We would like this implemented for all matches between these two teams.!!!!!!!

Shihab Akill Daiyan Tuesday, 19 March 2024 05:08 PM

We had a good relationship but lately from 2018, the snake dance and the helmet episodeof 2023 World Cup is making it look like an inter-class match in a school.

Tissa Fernando Tuesday, 19 March 2024 05:33 PM

ICC should take disciplinary action for these acts.

Moodis Tuesday, 19 March 2024 11:36 PM

Janith for captaincy, taking out the clowns

melville perera Wednesday, 20 March 2024 08:25 AM

disgraceful behaviour and displays the low quality of the player if not the team and this is supposed to be a gentleman's sport Considering the basic illiterate background this revengeful reciprocity does harm to the spirit of the game and hope the recent player who took up the role of a politician will "coach" the team to respect the spirit of the game and behave in a civil manner
