Watch: Mohammad Nawaz's Heated Shoulder Clash With Tanzim Hasan Sakib in the BPL

Tanzim Hasan Sakib, a fast bowler from Bangladesh, is famous for being very skilled in cricket but also for getting into trouble on and off the field has often raised eyebrows. He's been in many conflicts before. He plays for the Sylhet Strikers in the Bangladesh Premier League. In the 17th game of the season, he got into another argument when they were playing against Khulna Tigers.

During the first ball of the 17th over, an incident happened when Sakib took Mohammad Nawaz's wicket. Sakib bowls a sharp and tricky slower ball that Nawaz did not expect. Nawaz just tapped it gently, making it an easy catch at short third man. Right after Nawaz was out, Sakib started arguing with him and exchanged some heated words. Things got pretty tense as the two players got close, and things quickly escalated with some physical contact.

Earlier in the season, Sakib got into a small conflict with Towhid Hridoy, and he's had similar conflicts when playing international games too. Now, it was very unusual because Sakib went as far as to point his fingers at the dressing room during a heated argument. Nawaz was distraught by it, but luckily other players joined in to break it so things wouldn't escalate.

Despite the drama, Nawaz's wicket turned out to be crucial for the match. Sakib’s two wickets played a key role in Sylhet Strikers narrow eight-run victory.
