Overview
- Litton Das told Prothom Alo on Monday that Pakistan wicketkeeper‑batter Mohammad Rizwan declined to shake hands with Bangladesh players after both Tests and called the conduct “unprofessional.”
- Bangladesh completed a 2-0 home Test series win over Pakistan in May 2026, a result that set the competitive backdrop for the exchanges between the two sides.
- Stump‑mic recordings widely circulated online captured repeated heated on‑field exchanges between Litton and Rizwan and a sightscreen dispute that briefly delayed play and required umpires to intervene.
- Multiple outlets have reported and corroborated Litton’s allegation but none of the coverage includes a public rebuttal from Rizwan or an official statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board, and no independent video verification has been published.
- The episode has focused attention on sportsmanship between the teams and may shape how future meetings are managed, with observers watching for any PCB response, formal complaints, or changes to post‑match protocol.
