Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana sparked controversy by referencing Harmanpreet Kaur while denying explosive abuse allegations from former pacer Jahanara Alam. Alam claimed junior players complained that Sultana physically hit and misbehaved with them. Responding sharply, Sultana asked, "Why would I get physical? Am I Harmanpreet?" referencing the Indian captain's infamous 2023 stump-smashing incident during India's Bangladesh tour after an LBW decision. Sultana questioned why players would call Alam in Australia instead of approaching team management if abuse occurred. She emphasized her personal space activities differ from professional conduct and challenged anyone to verify the allegations with other players or staff members.(PC: India TV News)
