The Bangladesh Premier League’s (BPL 2024) sixth edition courted controversy when Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik bowled three no-balls in an over during a match.

During the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) clash between Fortune Barishal and Khulna Tigers, Malik bowled not one but three no-balls in a single over, leaving his teammates and captain disappointed.

During the league, Malik reached the milestone of becoming the first Asian player to score 13,000 runs in T20s. But more noise was made about his three no-balls during the said encounter.

Franchise skipper Tamim Iqbal decided to introduce Malik in the powerplay.

But this act by Shoaib Malik led to fans questioning the cricketer’s intentions. Many felt that the no-balls were bowled deliberately, discreetly pointing towards fixing.
