Kapali, Baisya & Rafiqul HOSPITALIZED

Bangladesh Radio said that Alok Kapali, Tapash Kumar Baisya, Rafiqul Islam and Tushar Imran were involved in a car accident.

Kapali, Baisya and Rafiqul are admitted into CMH (maybe - Cantonment Hospital).

Tushar Imran was also admitted but his injury seem to be not serious.

As far as I can remember, they were going to Dhanmondi from Uttara or vice versa.

Anwar Hossain and some other player will replace Kapali and Baisya.

BTV did not say anything about this accident in 8 O'clock news, but they gave an update of the on-going challenge trophy.

Rokon and Javed Omar were unbeaten at stumps and Bangladesh 'A' were bowled out for just over a 300 run score.

How terrible! I am glad though that they shifted the two to CMH. If you must be hospitalized in Dhaka, CMH is the best place to be. God only knows how this will impact our selection options for the Windies series but right now, I think we should forget about cricket and just hope that these guys recover soon. Cricket is just a game after all, this is a question of life and death.

Does anyone know who the driver was?

Yeah!! It was 'Kala Farukh' a.k.a Faruikka!!

Explanation of the accident: They were in a three wheeler autorickshaw known as Baby Taxi. They were not in a car - so the driver was a taxi driver, not any of the players. Because it was a Baby Taxi, the injury was not that serious - otherwise God knows what would have happened. But then again if it was a car, there wouldn't have been the accident (flipping over). Almighty knows best!

P.S. - I am not laughing at you, What you asked is legit. But I was just picturing kapali driving an autorickshaw. Thanks for the laugh.

Only Rafiqul Islam seem to be hurt the most. May be he was in the front with the driver's seat?

Because as far as I know, this is the only way that four people excluding the driver of the baby taxi can ride in a baby taxi.
