During the 17th match of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League 2025 between Sylhet Strikers and Khulna Titans, Mohammad Nazwa and Tanzim Hasan had a physical altercation. Nawaz is playing for the Tigers while Hasan is playing for the Strikers. The incident occurred during the 17th over of the Tigers’ innings when Nawaz was caught at short third man by Zakir Hasan.
Tanzim bowled a slower one outside off stump and flummoxed the Pakistani international. After being caught at the short third man, the left-hander was walking back to the crease when Hasan barged his shoulders with him. What followed was a heated conversation between the two only to be separated by the Strikers’ players and the on-field umpires.

The incident happened on January 12 and so far, no action has been taken officially. As per the rules of the ICC, “any inappropriate physical contact with a player, umpire, or other person is prohibited during an international match. The ICC match referee is responsible for making the final decision on any potential breach of conduct.” Both Nawaz and Hasan can be slapped with Level 1 offense which means a monetary fine is coming their way.
