Shakib Al Hasan was angry after the umpire did not declare Mushfiqur Rahim out
Shakib Al Hasan lost his cool today after the umpire did not raise his finger when the all-rounder appealed for an LBW. Mushfiqur Rahim was the batsman on strike and it appeared that Shakib Al Hasan had trapped him in front of his stumps.
However, the umpire did not declare him out. Shakib soon kicked the stumps at the non-striker's end.
In another incident from the same match, Shakib Al Hasan uprooted the stumps at the non-striker's end after he was unhappy with another of the umpire's decisions.
