Bangladesh ODI captain Masrafe Bin Mortaza sustained lacerations on both hands and parts of the body due to impact from a fall following a road accident.
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza said, “When I saw the bus approaching towards my rickshaw, I jumped out in anticipation. The tyre was broken and I tried to save my legs by diving out of the rickshaw. I am very lucky to have escaped with only some skin damage. My car was taking my child to the doctor for vaccination so I took the rickshaw to the ground. It is a 10-minute ride from my house.”
National team Physio Bayedul Islam Khan said, “He has been given medication and requires dressing on a regular basis. We expect him to recover in 7 to 10 days.”
