Bangladesh's opening batter, Litton Das, has expressed his regret via social media following an incident where he had journalists from Bangladesh removed from the team hotel in Pune, India, reports UNB.
When the Bangladesh team had no scheduled practice or media interactions, journalists visited the team hotel on Sunday. Litton did not welcome the idea. He summoned the hotel's security personnel and instructed them to escort the journalists away.
This incident ignited debate and discussion among Bangladeshi journalists covering the ICC World Cup in India. Some reporters questioned Litton's professionalism in their reports aired on television or shared on social media platforms.“I deeply regret the unforeseen incident that occurred yesterday at the team hotel," Litton posted on Facebook.
“I hold the media in high regard. The indispensable role of journalists in advancing Bangladesh cricket is acknowledged and appreciated.”
The Bangladesh team has participated in three matches in the ICC World Cup 2023 so far, securing a victory in one. In the upcoming match, Bangladesh will face India on October 19.
