Trevin Mathews, brother of Angelo Mathews, has warned Shakib Al Hasan that he is not welcome in Sri Lanka now, and if he dares to come, he might face backlash from the Sri Lankan fans as they are angry by his decision.
He further said we are very disappointed with Shakib, who lacks sportsmanship and humanity in the gentlemen’s game. He said Shakib is not welcomed in Sri Lanka, and if he still comes, he has to face stones and the annoyance from the fans.
The controversy started when Angelo Mathews was coming to bat, but he discovered his helmet strap was broken. He asked for another helmet, but the umpire gave him time out before he could be put on guard. Mathews then went to Shakib Al Hasan to withdraw his appeal, but he refused. And at that moment, the controversy started between the two teams.
