After fixing the long growing storm, the Bangladesh Premier League has returned with a thrilling season. As the tournament is set to go live from December 26, another unexpected drama turned heads. Ahead of Noakhali Express’ opening clash against Chattogram Royals, an unexpected twist has ignited buzz and raised eyebrows.
Before facing their first opponent of the upcoming tournament, they reached the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium for a practice session. As all started well, Noakhali’s head coach Khaled Mahmud and assistant coach Talha Jubair left the practice session midway due to limited training facilities.
According to sources, there was a shortage of cricket balls, and this mismanagement just a day before the match left them frustrated. According to The Daily Star, a source said, “An official behaved badly with the coach and he was upset. Mainly there were not enough balls during the practice session and due to some mismanagement, the coaches were upset.”
