Zimbabwe players hurt in car crash

Cricinfo staff

Two Zimbabwe first class cricketers - Simba Kusano and Mbekezeli Mabuza - were seriously injured when they were involved in a serious car crash near Bulawayo on Sunday evening.

The two are recovering at a public hospital after they were thrown out of a minibus being used to transport some of the Zimbabwe and Bangladesh players to the ODIs in Bulawayo. The driver is believed to have swerved off the road to avoid an oncoming car and the minibus hit a tree, rammed into a bridge and caught fire.

Reliable sources have said that Kusano, a medium pace bowler, broke his leg while Mabuza, a top-order batsman and part time offspinner, suffered a back injury but could resume playing the game soon. The pair had just signed contracts to play for the Bulawayo based Matabeleland Tuskers franchise.

Mabuza had returned to Bulawayo after being dropped from the Zimbabwe A side playing against Afghanistan in an ICC Intercontinental Cup match in Mutare. In May, he produced a stunning bowling display, picking up five wickets to lead Westerns to a sensational four-run victory over Northerns in the domestic Twenty20 final at Queens Sports Club. He was also a member of the Zimbabwe A side that toured Namibia.

I hope they will get well soon. If the roads are really very dangerous, the authorities should definitely look at this point to avoid such kinds of accidents. It's indeed a matter of concern...
