Bringing back memories of the tragic death of Australian cricketer Phil Hughes, an East Bengal Club cricketer died following an injury suffered in the cricket field. Ankit Keshri, the club's former under-19 captain died on Monday morning following a cardiac arrest. He was 20 years-old.
The incident happened on Friday, during Bengal Division 1's match between East Bengal Club and Bhawanipore Club. In the 44th over, Keshri bumped into bowler Sourabh Mondal while taking a catch. He immediately fell on the ground and lost consciousness. The right-handed batsman was rushed to a private nursing home and was undergoing treatment for three days.
His condition was improving and later was stable. But at midnight he suffered a cardiac arrest and succumbed to his injuries on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, an East Bengal Club match scheduled for today has been postponed following Keshri's death. "It is extremely saddening to hear the news of Keshri's demise. He was not just a dynamic player but also an equally good player. It is a huge loss for us," said Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) treasurer Biswarup Dey.
