"Umpiring issue was raised because India did not win": Bangladesh women's cricket skipper Nigar Sultana

Much has already been talked and written about the India versus Bangladesh women’s series, with Harmanpreet Kaur handed a two-match ban for her on and off-field conduct.

Opening up on the bitterly contested series, Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana Joty said the umpiring issue was raised because India did not win.

Asked if Nigar Sultana Joty agrees that Harmanpreet had done things in the heat of the moment and while it was indeed a mistake such things happen in sports, she responded saying on Revsportz, “You are right in saying such things happen in sports and it is not the first time. You are also right in saying that it happened in the heat of the moment. However, had it been restricted to the field of play, honestly speaking I would not have felt bad about it or felt disappointed. I would have told my players that it was all in the intensity of the moment and it is better than all of us moved on from it. But what really disappointed me was that it was not restricted to the field of play.”
