Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman has been admitted to a hospital in Chattogram after sustaining a blow to the head during a training session with the Comilla Victorians at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
The incident occurred on Sunday morning as the team was preparing for their upcoming BPL game against the Sylhet Strikers. Mustafizur fell to the ground immediately after being hit on the left side of his head by a ball while near his bowling mark.
Eyewitnesses reported that teammates and coaching staff quickly attended to him before rushing him to an ambulance at the ground.
Zahidul Islam, the team physio, provided an update, stating, “During practice a ball hit directly at the left parietal area (head) of Mustafizur Rahman. 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.”
Our thoughts are with Mustafizur Rahman for a swift recovery.
