To review the incident, a meeting of Abahani Cricket Committee, chaired by chairman AHM Mustafa Kamal MP, was held at the club on January 21. The meeting blamed the CCDM, the two Sri Lankan umpires and the match referee for the incident.

The meeting also condemned a comment by a CCDM official saying that it was biased and made even before receiving the umpires' report. After seeing the comment in national dailies the next day, members of the whole team were demoralised and they eventually lost the match to Biman.

Finally, the meeting condemned a report published in an English daily for addressing three Abahani officials as 'thug'. The meeting termed that report as an ill move to damage the image of the club.

It may be added that three Abahani officials have been punished by the CCDM, who declared them 'persona non grata' for their involvement in attack on the umpires on January 15.
