Tamim escapes from a serious injury

Opener Tamim Iqbal escaped narrowly from a severe injury during Bangladesh’s three-day practice match at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.

The incident happened on the second day of the match when the batsman was out on 29. The manner in which he got dismissed, left him such frustrated that he swung his bat angrily on his way back to pavilion and to his dismay the bat struck a glass door

But the injury took place a few seconds later when Tamim tried to make his way into the dressing room. As he pushed the glass door in order to move in, the glass shattered completely into pieces. Tamim lost his balance in the procedure and fell right over the broken pieces of glass. Tamim got a cut on his stomach which resulted in blood loss.

Tamim himself admitted that the injury could have been much more severe if he was without his cricketing gears such as the helmet and the pads.

He revealed that the condition of his pad will give everyone a hint of how serious the damage could have been. Tamim however considered himself lucky to have escaped any such caustic outcome.

“The moment I pushed on the door the glass broke entirely” said Tamim. “I fell to the ground as well and if anyone saw the state of my pads, they would know how dangerous the accident could have been.” added the batsman.

“Thanks to Allah that I got off from such a dangerous situation. The injury is nothing serious, I am just thankful since the situation could have been bad.”

“The injured area sometimes stretches the skin but it’s nothing serious,” Tamim said.

Tamim didn’t practice yesterday with the team which did their first session after their arrival in Dhaka from Chittagong. Tamim has four stitches on his stomach owing to the injury. The injury will be assessed after the stitches are cut. Though he would have to go through a fitness test after the injury is healed, the batsman is confident that he will be available in the first Test against Australia, slated to begin on August 27 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

Australia will land in Bangladesh on August 18 to play two-match Test series. It will be the Aussie’s first Test series against Bangladesh after 2006.
