Follow UsThe MCC Weekdays Bash XIX concluded last week with a final match between Aerovisa Cricket and Rabdan Cricket Club. However, the game was overshadowed by a controversial incident involving Rabdan batter Kashif Muhammad and Aerovisa bowler Nasir Ali.
The altercation occurred on the last ball of the 13th over after Nasir dismissed Kashif and delivered an aggressive send-off. While Nasir verbally targeted Kashif, the batter initially remained silent. However, Kashif's exuberant celebration escalated tensions, prompting him to confront Nasir, leading to a physical fight.
Despite attempts by umpires and teammates to break up the altercation, Nasir grabbed a bat and struck Kashif on the back. Kashif attempted to retaliate but was restrained by his teammates.
The incident quickly went viral on social media, particularly on platform X.
