Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews' brother has issued a warning for Bangladesh skipper Shakib al Hasan after the massive furore in the cricketing fraternity over the timed out dismissal in the World Cup.
Mathews became the first batter in international cricket to be given timed out after Shakib refused to withdraw his appeal during Monday’s match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, which the latter eventually won by three wickets to knock the Lankans out from the World Cup.
Shakib has been facing backlash on social media and criticized heavily by former cricketers for showing lack of spirit by not taking back his appeal against Mathews.
Trevin Mathews, Angelo's brother who was a first-class cricketer back home, has now threatened Shakib that he will be stoned if he comes to play in Sri Lanka.
"We are very disappointed. The Bangladeshi captain has no sportsman spirit and did not show humanity in the gentleman’s game," Trevin told Deccan Chronicle.
"Shakib is not welcome in Sri Lanka. If he comes here to play any international or the Lanka Premier League matches, stones will be thrown at him or he will have to face the annoyance of fans."
