Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club has lodged a complaint against Bangladesh cricketer Sabbir Rahman for racially abusing and throwing stones at one of their players, Elias Sunny.

The club has alleged that the incident took place during a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) T20 match in Dhaka on Wednesday.
Rahman, who was scheduled to take field as part of the Legends of Rupganj later in the day, allegedly abused Sunny by saying ‘kalo’ (black) and threw stones at him, according to the complaint.

Play was held up for a while on Wednesday as Sunny approached the umpires and informed them of the incident. After the match, Dhanmondi wrote a letter to the BCB requesting disciplinary action.

“[Sabbir Rahman] used abusive and racially discriminate language against Sunny. As a professional cricketer, such behaviour is not only indecent but also a punishable offense,” the letter said. “In this case, you are specially requested to take disciplinary action against Sabbir Rahman,” the letter said.


“During today’s match, when we were fielding, Rupganj’s bus had arrived near the BKSP 3 ground. He started teasing me with the same kalo, kalo. I didn’t react at first. But shortly afterwards, he threw a stone at me. I maintained the protocol by telling the umpires. Play was stopped for a while. I also spoke to the match referee.”

So after Mushfiq almost punching a player and Shakib kicking the stumps we have this. I wonder what we are going to see next in BD domestic cricket?
 
How can a Bangaldeshi racially abuse another Bangaldeshi ? Now a days it seems fashionable to accuse each other of racism..

Colorism would have been a better description then racism. Anyways at the end of the day, the abuse was based on the fact that Elias Sunny has dark skin. So it not far fetched to call it racism as the abuse stems from the racist belief that lighter skin is superior.
 
I think this is now a concerted effort by the BCB to infuse reality TV into their sports league to push the viewership of the BPL to astronomical levels and make it the most watched league in the world.

It's a bit like the WWE. You watch it not just for the fight, but the different plots and sub plots within it. The BCB is innovating cricket and infusing it with reality TV entertainment based on the WWE model. The other boards need to catch up.
 
Elias didnt react after racial slurs and then Sabbir Rehman threw a stone at him.

I am lost for words here. Truly unprofessional behaviour which is wrong at multiple levels.

That's hilarious really 😂
 
Legends. You can expect bangla players to start a fight in an empty room.

But Sabbir and bangladeshis in general are dark skinned. WTH. :yk
 
Racism? both belong to the same race.

Racist and racism are most over-used and misused words in modern times.
 
This is so small time it's comical. No name Bangladeshi crickets throwing fits in a no name local league. There was the Shakib incident as well.

WGAF?
 
This is hilarious. I was mentioning his past transgressions just the other day on that thread about Shakib. And now a few days later he has done something similar again.
 
This is getting embarrassing.

Bangladeshi players used to be humble and gentle. These spoiled brats are ruining the country's image.

Their performances are still zero. I am not sure where all the attitudes come from.

Many dark-skinned Bangladeshis often get abused by fair-skinned Bangladeshis.

They are called kalu, kala, bandor (monkey) etc.

Racism is a real thing in Bangladesh.
 
Sad incident and sadder individual this Rahman. Belongs to Stone Age
 
It's not racist as they're both the same race and ethnicity, colorist is a more appropriate term.
 
Interesting that the word 'kala' is common to Urdu/Hindi and Bangla. Or was he not speaking bangla?
 
Throwing stones now!!

We were much professional during our gully cricket than these BD professional cricketers. Lol

What's wrong with that?

Virat Kohli, AB De villiers, Kane Williamson , Ben Stokes have all cried on the field after losing big games. Why is that a bad thing?
