In a bizarre and probably never seen before incident on a cricket field, team Abu Dhabi's Rohan Mustafa was unable to stop a boundary in the T10 Abu Dhabi League as he didn't have his shirt on, much to the amusement of those around. The UAE international was fielding at the boundary when Northern Warriors batsman Waseem Muhammad hit the ball towards him.
'Just when you think you have seen it all'
However, Mustafa was not ready as he was changing his jersey. With half the shirt on, he was seen running towards the boundary and ended up conceding a four. West Indies international and captain of Northern Warriors Nicholas Pooran, who was sitting in the dugout, couldn’t control his laughter. Rohan Mustafa bowled two overs in the match and gave away 24 runs.
