The MCC Weekdays Bash XIX came to a conclusion last week with the final between Aerovisa Cricket and Rabdan Cricket Club. However, the fixture was marred by controversy after Rabdan batter Kashif Muhammad and Aerovisa bowler Nasir Ali were involved in a brawl. The incident happened on the final ball of the 13th over after Nasir dismissed Kashif and decided to give a fiery send off to the batter. Nasir was seen having a go at Kashif, who initially didn't say anything despite the bowler hurling abuses towards him.
However, Kashif's over the top animated celebration sparked tensions, leading Kashif to finally confront Nasir. This led to a violent fight between the two.
While the umpires and their teammates tried to separate the two, Nasir grabbed a bat and decided to hit Kashif on his back. Even the batter tried to have a swing at the bowler, but was stopped by his teammate.
The incident was captured in a viral video on social media platform X.
