Umpire Richard Kettleborough, who was officiating the match, was fast to intervene.
The PAK vs BAN 1st Test witnessed a tense and dramatic moment on Day 5. This was after an incident took place just before lunch involving Bangladesh’s experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and Pakistan’s wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan.
During the 33rd over, Shakib Al Hasan was ready to deliver the ball in his run-up. However, Rizwan backed away at the last moment, instead of stopping in his run-up, Shakib unexpectedly threw it directly at his keeper, Litton Das, which might have hit Rizwan on the head. The batter, who was not prepared to face the delivery, was clearly unhappy with Shakib’s actions.

Richard Kettleborough warns Shakib
Umpire Richard Kettleborough, who was officiating the match, was quick to intervene. He turned to Shakib with a stern expression, signaling his disapproval of the veteran player’s conduct.
The umpire made it clear that such behaviour would not be tolerated on the field. His stern gaze and warning to the 37-year-old left arm-spinner, reminded him of the importance of maintaining composure, especially in high-pressure situations.
