Bangladesh cricketer Litton Das has issued an apology after his outburst against some of the Bangladeshi media personnel recently.

Litton was at the heart of controversy as the Bangladesh player lashed out some of the media poeple at the Conrad Hotel in Pune. Bangladesh have been drubbed by England and New Zealand and they play a crucial match against India next.

They are staying at the Conrad Hotel in Pune and a few Bangladeshi journalists were present at the hote, trying to have some insights from the players. While other players like Taskin Ahmed, Mahmudullah went cordial with the journalists, Litton vehemently protested against the media personnel.

He reportedly shouted at the journalists and asked the hotel security why the media people were present there. After Litton's angry outburst, the hotel security asked the journalists to leave the hotel premises.

Controversy has escalated in Bangladesh for Litton's behaviour and fans, media personnel all have criticised the player. And following that, Litton has now issued an apology for his 'hoot kore ghote jawa (out of nowhere)' outburst.

"I am heartily sorry for the unprecedented event that happened at the team hotel yesterday. I didn't realise that there were so many media personnel present. I express my sadness for the out of nowhere incident. I'm always very respectful to media and media personnel, who have a huge contribution in the progression of Bangladesh cricket," a Facebook post from Litton Das wrote.

Bangladesh are as a spot of bother in the World Cup 2023. After their fantastic victory over Afghanistan in the first match, they have been defeated handsomely by England and New Zealand. Now their challenge is against India, who are in excellent form and have won three matches out of 3 and currently sitting at the summit of the World Cup standings.

The Tigers will be hoping to take confidence from their recent Asia Cup victory over India, but it was an Indian team which didn't have the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and their bowling mavericks.
