South Africa Emerging spinner Tshepo Ntuli and Bangladesh Emerging batsman Ripon Mondol shared an altercation during this week’s four-day fixture in Dhaka.
The incident happened after Ripon hit Ntuli for a six. Ntuli pulled at Ripon’s helmet. They also shoved each other.
I have never seen such an incident in the history of cricket. A direct fight. What a shameful incident of cricket happened between the talented bowler Shepo Ntuli of South Africa and Ripon Mondal of Bangladesh. This is extreme. #BANevsSAe #CricketTwitter #Bangladesh #SouthAfrica pic.twitter.com/3CbMTHwUEA

“This is extreme, this is unacceptable. Normally we see verbal altercations in a cricket field but we don’t often see a scuffle. Ntuli struck Ripon’s helmet at one point,” said match commentator Nabil Kaiser.
Earlier during this tour, Proteas all-rounder Andile Simelane was suspended for one limited-overs match.
