A17-year-old died in a hospital in Dhaka after he was hit by a ball while umpiring a cricket match, police said on Saturday. “A group of youths were playing cricket in the field and the boy was the umpire. He collapsed on the field after a ball hit him in the chest,” local Police Chief Enamul Haque told AFP. Hughes, who played 26 Tests, died from bleeding on the brain in November 2014 after being hit on the base of the skull by a ball during a domestic match in Sydney. His death stunned Australia and the world cricket community, sparking an outpouring of grief and intensifying a focus on player safety.
