A 14-year-old cricketer has died in Bangladesh after he was hit by a stump thrown by an angry batsman during a friendly game between neighbourhood teams, police said Monday.
Faisal Hossain was fielding in the southeastern port city of Chittagong when the batsman was given out, assistant police commissioner Jahangir Alam told AFP.
"The batsman was furious when he saw that he was stumped or bowled out. He grabbed a stump and threw it in the air. The stump hit part of the neck and head of Faisal who was fielding close to the wicket," he said.
"He collapsed on the ground in pain and was declared dead after he was taken to a hospital."
The batsman has been detained and will be prosecuted for causing unintentional death, police said.
Clashes are common over cricket in Bangladesh, where the sport is taken seriously even at village level.
