Internet Desk: Pakistani cricketer Zubain Ahmed passed away after being hit on the head by a bouncer delivery in a match in Mardan. The Pakistan Cricket Board informed everyone about the demise of Zubain who played four games for Quetta Bearns thereby informing everyone about the necessity to wear helmets during the game.
The message on PCB’s Twitter account read: “Tragic death of Zubair Ahmed is another reminder that safety gear i.e. helmet must be worn at all times. Our sympathies with Zubair’s family.”
The focus of wearing helmets was improved after the tragic death of Australian batsman Philip Huges.
Australian vice-skipper David Warner was also retired hurt when he was hurt in the neck after being hit by a bouncer from Josh Hazlewood in a warm-up match. Warner walked out of the field after removing his helmet, leaving his bat behind.
Warner passed a concussion test and was declared fit for the tour of Bangladesh but was made to rest ion the intra-squad match in Darwin, Australia’s Northern Territory.
“It’s good that Davey’s fine,” Aussie pacemen Pat Cummins said after close of play on Tuesday. “He’s a little bit stiff and sore, but just speaking to him then, he’s all fine.”
