Watch: Azam Khan Holds His Neck In Pain After Bizarre Dismissal In CPL

Pakistan cricket team wicket-keeper batter Azam Khan once again found himself in the headlines following a bizarre dismissal in the Caribbean Premier League 2024. The incident happened during the match against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons as the Guyana Amazon Warriors batter was dismissed after scoring just 9 runs. A bouncer from fast bowler Shamar Springer proved to be too good for Azam as it hit him straight on the neck. The batter could not maintain his balance and while collapsing on the ground, his bat hit the stumps and he was dismissed hit wicket. Azam looked in pain as the team physio quickly entered the ground and he was taken to the dressing room after some inspection.

Meanwhile, Khurram Shahzad took four wickets Sunday to leave Bangladesh battling to avoid the follow-on at 75-6 at lunch on the third day of the second Test in Rawalpindi.

Shahzad ripped through the top order with 4-15 and fellow quick bowler Mir Hamza took 2-29 as Bangladesh collapsed to 26-6 in reply to Pakistan's first innings 274 in the rain-affected match which saw Friday's first day washed out.

At the break, Mehidy Hasan Miraz was on 33 and Litton Das 13 as the pair fought to repair the innings with a dogged unbroken seventh-wicket stand worth 49.

Mehidy has hit seven fours so far in his gritty 48-ball knock but Bangladesh still need another 49 runs to avoid the follow-on with four wickets remaining. 

Bangladesh resumed on 10-0 but Shahzad soon had opener Zakir Hasan caught by Abrar Ahmed at short midwicket for one in the fourth over.

Shahzad then bowled Shadman Islam (10) and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (1) in the space of four deliveries to reduce Bangladesh to 20-3.

At the other end Hamza had Mominul Haque
