Dhaka: Bangladesh’s One-Day International (ODI) skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza sustained “minor injuries” ahead of India’s tour after a bus rammed into a rickshaw in which he was travelling here on Thursday.
The pacer was on his way to practice at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium when the accident occurred. Both his arms were injured when he fell off the rickshaw, as per reports.
Mashrafe later said his injuries were not serious but sustained got bruises on his hands due to the fall.
“There are no fractures. Hope there is no danger now,” he said.
A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official said though they were not expecting to find anything serious, Mashrafe would be taken to hospital for proper check-up.
Mashrafe is not included in the squad for the one-match Test series against India commencing from June 10 at Fatullah’s Khan Shaheb Osman Ali stadium.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
