The Bangladesh Premier League is currently underway, and thus far it has been a thrilling event. Despite some outstanding cricketing moments, the league has also not shied away from stirring up a number of issues. Khaled Mahmud, the coach of the Khulna Tigers team and a former captain of Bangladesh, is the newest person to enter a BPL controversy.
Khaled Mahmud was spotted smoking a cigarette in the dugout during a game between the Khulna Tigers and Fortune Barishal on live television.

Social media users have been sharing a video of the incident in which Mahmud can be seen smoking close to the dugout. As soon as the veteran noticed he was being recorded, he took his hand away from his mouth.
