BD A wicket-keeper left embarrassed after positioning horror

In the third unofficial One Day International between Bangladesh A and New Zealand A, wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan was left red-faced when his awkward positioning behind the stumps resulted in the ball hitting the helmet on Saturday, according to a Indian daily The Indian Express.

The incident occurred in the fifth over of the second innings of the match when pacer Ebadot Hossain was bowling. Chasing 228, Rhys Mairu and Dale Phillips were batting with scorecard reading 35 for 0 when Ebadot bowled a straight ball that was left alone by Mariu and it hit the helmet as Nurul decided to stand closer to first slip instead of the conventional wicket-keeper's position. The ball ran towards short third man before it was fielded.

While Nurul wore an expression as if he didn't expect the ball to go straight, even the batters looked confused.
