New Delhi, Feb 18 (IANS) – Bangladesh’s star fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was rushed to the hospital in Chattogram after being hit on his head during a training session with Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise Comilla Victorians at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The incident took place on Sunday morning when Comilla were preparing for their next BPL game against Sylhet Strikers, which is scheduled on Monday.
Mustafizur was positioned close to his bowling mark when he was struck by a shot from Litton Das, who was batting in a nearby net. The left-arm paceman suffered a bleeding injury and was promptly provided with initial medical assistance at the venue before being transported to the hospital for further treatment, according to Cricbuzz.
