BCB to complain to ICC against controversial umpiring decisions -
bdnews24.com
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will lodge a complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC) against controversial umpiring decisions in the quarter-final match between Bangladesh and India.
"The BCB will not appeal for a review of the controversial umpiring decisions, it's of no use. It won't change the result," BCB President Nazmul Hassan said at a press conference in Melbourne on Friday.
Bangladesh lost to India by 109 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday.
In the match, on-field umpires Aleem Dar and Ian Gould's decisions of a Rubel Hossain no-ball and Mahmudullah's dismissal sparked huge controversy.
"We have decided that we will lodge an official complaint with the ICC against the controversial umpiring. We have discussed it. We will decide on it at the next BCB meeting."
In the 40th over of the Indian innings, Rohit Sharma, batting on 90, pulled Rubel Hossain’s full toss towards deep midwicket and was caught by Imrul Kayes.
But Aleem Dar, who was at square leg, had indicated that ball was above Rohit’s waist and Gould signalled no-ball.
But the TV replays clearly showed the ball was below the waist-line.
Rohit went on to add 47 runs off 24 balls and scored his maiden World Cup century.
Mahmudullah was adjudged caught at deep fine leg but TV replays were inconclusive as Shikhar Dhawan's foot seemed to have touched the rope.
Critics came down hard on the umpires for their poor decision-making, which seemed rushed.
Commentators and former cricketers, too, voiced their opinions that the matter was not dealt with carefully enough.
Hassan was also critical of the matter.
"On-field umpires take the assistance of the TV (third) umpire before reaching a conclusion in such cases. But it seemed they did not do so on Thursday."
"The tide of the match had been in Bangladesh's favour till Rubel's wicket was ruled out due to the no-ball. Our players were stunned due to the umpires' error and lost control of the game."
The BCB chief, however, was satisfied with Bangladesh's performance in the World Cup.
He said by reaching the quarter-finals beating Afghanistan, Scotland and England, Bangladesh fulfilled their goal in the competition.
"Our pacer Rubel has done very well throughout the tournament. He is one of the pacers who captured the headlines in the World Cup.
"Mahmudullah scored two consecutive centuries while young Soumya Sarkar, Sabbir Rahman and Nasir Hossain did well too."
