Pakistan players Azam Khan and Naseem Shah were involved in a friendly banter during a Bangladesh Premier League game on January 29. Comilla Victorians' pacer Naseem Shah was seen teasing Azam Khan when the Khulna Tigers' player was coming out to bat in the match. The right-arm pacer went to Azam and hit him with his chest while the latter was walking towards the pitch with his bat in hand. In response, Azam pushed back Naseem, who was then trying to shake hands with him. Seconds later, Naseem could be seen imitating Azam's walking style by broadening his shoulders in a funny way.
The incident happened when Mosaddek Hossain dismissed Tamim Iqbal on the first ball of the 20th over of Khulna Tigers' innings and Azam Khan was the batter who arrived at the crease next.
