During the 3rd ODI between India Women and Bangladesh Women in Dhaka, a controversy occurred as Bangladesh Women skipper Nigar Sultana skipped the joint-photo session with the Indian team after Harmanpreet Kaur's statements. The last and decisive Women's One-Day International (ODI) between Bangladesh and India should have been about the thrilling conclusion, but instead, Harmanpreet Kaur's behaviour, she smashed the stumps after being given out and afterwards termed the umpiring "pathetic" has been the talking point.

Harman was fined 75% of her match fees for insulting the umpires for the post series,  after causing chaos by shattering her stumps following her dismissal and speaking ill of the officials during the presentation ceremony. A video of Harmanpreet inviting someone to join the series-ending photograph with the Indian and Bangladesh teams has gone popular on social media.

Bring the umpires too: Harmanpreet Kaur

According to reports, the India captain exclaimed during the session, "Bring the umpires too," implying that the officials are also members of the Bangladesh squad and hence should be included in the images. Sultana interacted with officials from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) before departing with her squad. In the post-match press conference, she blasted Kaur, claiming her opponent "could have shown better manners."

The Bangladesh captain even stated, "It is totally her problem. I have nothing to do with it. As a player, she could have shown better manners. I can't tell you what happened, but it didn't feel right to be there with my team. It wasn't the right environment. That's why we went back. Cricket is a game of discipline and respect."

In the post-match news conference, India's vice-captain Smriti Mandhana was asked about the incident. Mandhana stated that Harmanpreet did yell at the umpires, but nothing was intended towards Bangladesh's captain or squad. The Indian women captain has been fined 50% for breaking the stumps and 25% for her comments. She will also get four demerit points, which generally states that she might also face a ban of one Test or two limited-overs matches.
