Litton Das Breaks Silence on Mohammad Rizwan Handshake Controversy
Litton Das finally talked about the controversy between him and Mohammad Rizwan. Both players had a banter in the first Test, as words were exchanged between them. Following this, Litton revealed that Rizwan didn't shake hands with the entire Bangladesh team.
Bangladesh and Pakistan are back in the headlines due to a controversy. When both teams faced each other in the first Test, a controversy happened between Litton Das and Mohammad Rizwan. Words were exchanged between the two, as Litton taunted Rizwan when he had completed his half-century.
But recently, Litton Das revealed an incident which took place after the game. When Bangladesh won the first Test, the entire Pakistan team shook hands with them except for one player, and it was Mohammad Rizwan. Litton said, “I disliked one thing. Whatever happens on the field, once the game is over, everyone should shake hands. After the first Test defeat, Rizwan didn't come to shake our hands, which is very bad. No matter how big a player he is, that shouldn't have happened, whether you lose or win.”
Litton Das also confirmed that the same issue also happened in the second Test. Rizwan didn't even shake hands with the Bangladeshi team, as he was involved in a controversy with Litton Das in the first game.
Our Take
We have gotten a new version of the no-handshake policy. But this time, it was not the entire team which boycotted the handshake, it was just one player of the team which did the same. It should be noted that whatever happens on the field, stays on the field. While the controversy between Litton Das and Mohammad Rizwan has erupted again, it remains to be seen what Rizwan will reply to the same.
