Fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was struck in the head
during a Comilla Victorians practice at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium and
was then sent to a Chattogram hospital.
Mustafizur was struck by a ball on the left side of his head, causing him to
collapse instantly. While Comilla was getting ready for their upcoming BPL
match against Sylhet Strikers on Monday, the event happened early on Sunday.
Eyewitness reports said Mustafizur was near his
bowling mark when he got hit by the ball. Team-mates and coaching staff rushed
to his side and took him to the ambulance at the ground.
“During practice a ball hit directly at the left parietal area (head) of
Mustafizur Rrahman,” Zahidul Islam, the team physio, said. “There was
an open wound at his parietal area and we have worked with compression bandage
to stop bleeding and immediately had shifted him to Imperial hospital. After CT
scan we are satisfied that he had only external injury. There is no
intracranial bleeding. Now surgical team has given him stitches on the open
wound.”
Comilla’s media manager Sohanuzzaman Khan told that
Mustafizur was in good spirits. “When we were prepping him for the ride to
the hospital, he seemed to be acting normally,” he said.
Comilla are at No. 2 in the BPL points table with seven wins in nine games.
