An unpleasant incident awaited the sports journalists following the Bangladesh Premier League Twenty20 clash between Khulna Titans and Rangpur Riders at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Thursday as the security officials did not allow the media to enter the field.
In accordance with the rules and regulations in international matches, the journalists can enter the field after the match but due to some unknown reasons, the “walkie-talkie” security officials denied the correspondents from entering the ground.
Consequently, the journalists immediately decided to boycott the mandatory post-match press conference. As a result, Rangpur spinner Arafat Sunny came to the press box upon request from the journalists to give his reaction on the convincing win.
He said, “I had no idea about the record but obviously it feels great to be in the record books. I tried to bowl a tight line and length and I would also like to add that the batsmen made some mistakes as well. After changing my bowling action I think I am feeling better and comfortable with my new action. Hopefully, I will be able to regain my previous momentum."
