Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim was involved in a nasty on-field collision on the opening day of the National Cricket League match between holders Rajshahi and Dhaka Division at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Saturday.
Rahim, who skippers Rajshahi, collided with team-mate Saqlain Sajib as both players went for a catch near the fine-leg boundary after Dhaka's No 11 Mohammad Shahid top-edged a Farhad Reza bouncer off the last ball of the 45th over.
Later they were rushed to hospital.
Dr Debashish Chowdhury, the BCB's sports medical officer, told bdnews24.com:"They were given first aid but Saqlain was disoriented, he had memory loss. Mushfiqur was struck on the side of his face but he looked in better condition.
"Saqlain had to be taken to the hospital immediately for a CT scan. Mushfiqur was in my room for a while before we took him for an MRI. He has responded better and as far as I am concerned, he will recover quickly. But still, we didn't want him in the field."
As a result of the incident, Mushfiqur did not bat as Rajshahi replied with 137 for six at stumps. Earlier Sajib, the left-arm spinner, took 4 for 33 and helped his side bowl out Dhaka for 116 in the first innings.
