Plot against Shakib to portray him as villain: Bangladesh cricketer's wife reacts after controversial on-field action

Shakib Al Hasan's wife has alleged that "a plot" against her husband Shakib has been brewing for a while, adding that a few people want to "portray him as a villain" in all circumstances.

Ummey Al Hasan has come to the rescue of her husband and Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib after he 'lashed out at the stumps' in anger in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League (DPL) on Friday. The match between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Abahani Limited saw some unusual scenes as Shakib Al Hasan lost his cool twice within a span of two overs and kicked, uprooted and threw stumps to express his resentment to the decisions of the on-field umpires. The star cricketer's appeal for an LBW dismissal against Abahani's Mushfiqur Rahim was denied as Shakib kicked off all the 3 stumps. Moments later, Shakib uprooted the stumps and threw them in anger after umpire called for the covers to save the pitch and the ground from rain.
