Bangladesh cricket has sunk to a terrible low by daring to publish a shocking stationery advert in a leading Bangla daily displaying seven top Indian cricketers, including skipper M S Dhoni and Virat Kohli with half-tonsured heads with the hero of their triumph, the young Mustafizur Rahman promoting a paper cutter from a stationary store.
There can be nothing more disgraceful and malicious than making an ass of your opponents in full public glare.
Cricket is deemed a gentleman’s game but the Bangladeshis have chosen to distort this very meaning. The picture is bad advertisement, totally biased, immature and one-sided and in one stroke has taken away the sheen from Bangladesh’s ODI series win against India.
The BCCI and the sports ministry should not take this humiliation lying down and should strongly take up the matter with the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
