On January 29, 2019, during a match in the Bangladesh Premier League, Pakistani players Azam Khan and Naseem Shah engaged in some lighthearted joking with one another.
Naseem Shah, a pacer for the Comilla Victorians, was observed making fun of Azam Khan, a player for the Khulna Tigers, as Khan was coming out to bat in the match.
While Azam was making his way towards the pitch with his bat in hand, the right-arm pacer approached him and struck him in the chest with his right hand.
As a result, Azam resisted Naseem’s attempts to shake hands with him and pushed Naseem away from him. After a few seconds had passed, it was possible to observe Naseem mimicking Azam’s manner of walking by expanding his shoulders in an amusing manner.
At the time of the event, Mosaddek Hossain had just run out Tamim Iqbal with the first ball of the 20th over of Khulna Tigers’ innings. Azam Khan was the next batsman to step up to the plate.
