Cricketers who left us too soon: Heart-wrenching moments in cricket that made us cry
Some super-talented cricketers who entertained the crowd left us too soon to create a huge void in the world of cricket.
4. Manjural Islam Rana (Age 22, Bangladesh)
A very young promising batsman for Bangladesh who unfortunately passed away in 2007 in a motorcycle crash. Manjural set his sail in ODIs where his handy runs and wickets allowed him to chip away at the opposition. It was quite typical of the cricketers Bangladesh produced that Manjural had similar qualities of a Shakib and Mehedy. Given time, Manjural would have flourished ahead.
Manjural had a good start to his ODI career. Taking wickets and often being Bangaldesh’s best batter made him a bankable player. He chipped away at the wickets and his versatility in the team often promoted him to bat at various positions. He didn’t play many games but given the time, he would’ve been an integral part of their ODI team and T20 team in the future.
He passed away in 2007 in a motorcycle accident in Bangladesh, where he collided with a minibus and then hit an electrical pole. It was a sad end to his life which was very short-lived. He passed away at the age of 22.
