Shakib should behave himself

Shakib Al Hasan's unprofessional attitude is contradictory to the norms of standard cricket. In the past, he had been reprimanded several times for his attitude but he did the same thing again during the Bangladesh-Pakistan match in the recently concluded Asia Cup T20. The left-handed batsman hit the stumps with his bat after being bowled by Mohammad Amir. He was reprimanded by the ICC for breaching the Code of Conduct and was fined 50 percent of the match fees.

Although Shakib apologised for his behaviour, he should have been more careful. Players should maintain their sportsmanship at any given situation.
