Pacer Mustafizur Rahman suffered an external head injury during a practice session of his team at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Sunday.

The incident took place when Mustafizur was going to the bowling end at the nets to start for a new ball but at that moment, a ball struck by Liton Das from the batsman's end hit Mustafizur's head.

"During practice, a ball hit directly at left parital area (head) of Mustafizur rahman. There was open wound at his parital area and we have worked with compression Bandage to stop bleeding and immediately had shifted him to Imperial Hospital," SM Zahidul Islam Sazal, Comilla team physio, said in a statement.

"After CT scan we are satisfied that he had only external injury. There was no Intra-Cranial bleeding. Now surgical team has given him stretches for open wound," he added.

Mustafizur has taken 11 wickets in nine matches in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) so far for Comilla.

Comilla, which are currently in the second position in the points table with 14 points, will face Sylhet Strikers in their next game at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Monday.
