Captai Zeshan Abbasi...
“The mineral water bottles were given to us everyday; the acid was in one of those bottles,” said the team manager.
The manager said that since the entire team is blind, they did not know that there was acid inside the bottle instead of water.
“Howcanthisbeamistake?Howwasitonthebreakfasttable?”heenquired.
Chairman Blind Cricket Council Sultan Shahwas shocked by the incident and said that such a thing had never happened before.
A day before, Abbasi led the team to its fourth consecutive win in the tournament, and that too against India. Pakistan beat India by 8 wickets.
Why the acid was placed on his table or who put it there is under investigation, said the chairman.
Abbasi was shifted to a hospital where he is under treatment he confirmed, adding that they had an argument with the hotel management over the incident.
The hotel management has assured the chairman that they will check through CCTV footage and find the reason behind the incident.
The PBCC has accepted an apology by the hotel administration and has decided to continue playing in the tournament.
Remember, Abbasi is the same person who called India as his second home before leaving Pakistan for series.
