First-class cricketers shifted to hospital after bug attack

Pakistan’s former left-handed opening Test batsman Imran Farhat expressed his infuriation over the dismal state of the dressing room and ground provided to the cricketers playing the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam trophy tournament.

He is representing Habib Bank Limited (HBL) as an opening batsman. The batsmen posted pictures on social site Twitter showing bug bites on his left hand and on another player.

“Going to the hospital from ground after a horrible attack by bugs during the match,” the former test player tweeted.

The opening batsman said that as many as eight players were severely bitten by bugs, feeling sick due to the egregious state of the dressing room and ground.

“Everyone is feeling sick and struggling because of the ground conditions and all the players are on antibiotics,” he tweeted.

The test batsman also tweeted video of the dressing room given to the teams at the Diamond Ground, Islamabad. The seats are seen broken, the air conditioner not functional and the restroom filled with filth.
