ACC Trophy: Bangladesh avail of new physio
From Al-Amin
Doctor Mahfuzur Rahman is tagged with the Bangladesh cricket team in
the capacity of physio. But his presence has hardly helped opener
Shahriar Hossain to recover from a stiff neck.
Shahriar sustained the injury on his neek while fielding against
Malaysia on October 5 and was carried off the ground with his neck
locked. Mahfuz, a member of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), tried
heart and soul to alleviate Shariar's agony for the remaining part of
the match but in vain.
Shahriar has however finally recovered. Thanks to Patricia, wife of
Gordon Greenidge, who did the magic with a little knowledge of
professional physio therapy. In was learnt the Patricia is currently
running a health centre in Dhaka. Cynics say Mahfuzur Rahman availed
the trip in the capacity of a board member in disguise of a physio.
The BCB decision could prove vitally wrong.
