There is a rule regarding concussions in cricket. If a batsman suffers even a minor injury, the team physio will have to examine him before playing the next ball. Generally, men’s cricket team physios are men only. But, this is not the case with the Norway cricket team. Their team physio is a woman. Now the limit was reached when the Norwegian batsman Qamar Mustaq deliberately injured himself to get the woman examined by the physio. After this, the lady physio came to see him but the reaction she gave after seeing him went viral.
The video of the Norwegian batsman has gone viral
A video clip of a Norwegian batsman laughing at his team’s female physio is making headlines. The match related to which this video is going viral is being played between Norway and Sweden.

Injury or an excuse to seek treatment from a female physio?
In this video you can see Norwegian batsman Qamar Mushtaq trying to play a pull shot. After missing this shot, he acts as if the ball hit his helmet. After this the team’s female physio comes to check his concussion. However, looking at the batsman, it doesn’t look like he is injured anywhere. During the exam, whenever the lady doctor asks questions, the batsman will answer them with a smile. After this, after completing her examination, when the doctor fists the batsman, she looks at him and smiles even more.
There is no doubt that concussions are a big problem in cricket. Many batsmen have suffered due to this. But in the case of the Norwegian batsman, the question remains, was he really injured?
