Dhaka, 22 Jan -Durdanto Dhaka sent their concussion substitute player from the outside of the player list provided for their match against Chattogram Challengers sparked a fresh controversy in Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) today.

As its Sri Lankan recruit Danushka Gunathilaka who opened the innings was forced to be retired hurt after he was struck by a short pitched delivery of pacer Al-Amin Hossain, Dhaka sent his compatriot Lasith Croospulle as his substitute.

Chattogram immediately challenged the decision since Croospulle was not in the 15-member list provided for this match.

Croopulle saved Dhaka from ultimate blushes by hitting 31 ball-46 as the side was struggling after being slumped to 33-4. The concussion sub's knock was instrumental in helping the side propel past 100.

But whether Croospulle's concussion sub is within the law, created a fresh controversy. When contacted, match referee Rakibul Hassan said he would give detail explanation regarding this later.
