WATCH: Mustafizur Rahman rushed to hospital immediately after getting hit by a ball on his head
On Sunday Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was shifted to the hospital as he suffered an injury to his head in a training session for Comilla Victorians in Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
The incident took place when Comilla Victorians captain Litton Das took a shot while practising in the nets. Rahman was heading towards his bowling mark when a shot from Liton Das’s bat hit his head. As the ball struck on Rahman’s head which resulted in bleeding he was given an ice bag from the medical team. Mustafizur Rahman was immediately put on a stretcher with the ambulance present at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
The video went viral on social media, as the teammates of Mustafizur Rahman were rushed towards him before the medical staff treated him with first-aid on the field. The fast bowler was taken to Imperial Hospital for further treatment. Later the team confirmed that he went through CT scans and the player is out of danger and hasn’t suffered any internal bleeding due to the blow.
Head injuries are taken on a serious note by the cricketing world
“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 worked with a compression bandage to stop bleeding and immediately shifted him to Imperial Hospital,” Victorians’ physio SM Zahidul Islam Sazal said.
In the cricketing world head injuries have taken on a serious note since the incident of Australian batter Phil Huges’ death. The medical team of every country has treated head injury as the main priority.
Mustafizur Rahman played an important role for the team as the Comilla Victorians are placed second in the current Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) points table. Comilla Victorians will miss his services as the league is getting more intense day by day.
On February 19th Comilla Victorians will take on Sylhet Strikers in BPL.
