Manager Fazle Bari Rubel told bdnews24.com Chris Broad issued the warning after some spectators shouted ‘black, black’ following a row between Tamim Iqbal and Quinton de Kock on Wednesday.
They reacted after an unpleasant scene in the 30th over when Tamim and de Kock exchanged words before the latter barged into the opener with his shoulder.
After Broad’s warning, the organisers asked the spectators through loudspeakers and TV screens not to indulge in any further ‘racist slur’.
Rubel said the International Cricket Council was always very tough against any ‘racist behaviour’.
He said Bangladesh Cricket Board managed to convince the referee that it was not a big issue.
The venue manager described it as a ‘stray incident’.
