PCB lodges complaint over Bangladesh’s late review in third ODI

Dhaka — The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has filed an official complaint with match referee Neeyamur Rashid regarding an incident during the third One Day International (ODI) between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on March 15, 2026.

According to details, the PCB raised concerns after Bangladesh was permitted to take a review on the penultimate ball of the match. The incident occurred when Bangladesh's wicketkeeper, Litton Das, stumped Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi. The PCB's complaint centers on the timing and allowance of the review, which they believe was not in accordance with the rules.

The match, held in Mirpur, saw a tense finish, with the review decision playing a crucial role in the outcome. The PCB approached match referee Neeyamur Rashid immediately after the match to formally register their protest over the decision-making process that allowed Bangladesh to utilize the review at such a critical juncture.

Litton Das’s stumping of Shaheen Shah Afridi on the second-last ball of the match was a pivotal moment. The PCB’s complaint specifically addresses the process by which the review was granted, seeking clarification and potential rectification from the match officials.

No further details regarding the outcome of the complaint or any official response from the match referee were available at the time of reporting.
