While altercations and spats have become increasingly common in cricket matches, fights between celebrities remain a rare occurrence. However, during a recent Celebrity Cricket League fixture in Bangladesh, a violent brawl erupted between several players, resulting in six individuals being hospitalized due to the severity of their injuries.
Reports indicate that the fight broke out during a match between filmmaker Mustafa Kamal Raj's team and Dipankar Deepon's team, allegedly triggered by a controversial decision made by the umpire. What began as a heated exchange of words quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, with players resorting to punches and slaps. Shockingly, the altercation even involved the use of bats as weapons.
The individuals who sustained injuries have been identified as Shishir Sardar, Raj Ripa, Joy Chaudhry, Atiq Rehman, Sheikh Shuvo, and Ashiq Jahid. According to reports, Raj Ripa expressed on social media that Mustafa Kamal Raj would bear responsibility if any harm befell her career. She also accused his team of hurling water bottles at her. Consequently, the tournament had to be abruptly cancelled due to these unforeseen circumstances.
In light of similar incidents involving the Bangladesh national men's cricket team, numerous internet users have taken to trolling them, asserting that cricket has become a battleground within the country.
