T20 World Cup: Watch — UAE’s Aayan Afzal Khan’s comical fall near boundary rope during Netherlands clash
It wasn’t exactly an ideal day in office for young Aayan Afzal Khan during United Arab Emirates’ opening game of the T20 World Cup against Netherlands in Geelong on Sunday.
Not only was the 16-year-old, who made his international debut only last month against Bangladesh, dismissed for 5 in his first outing in a global tournament, but the disappointment of the low score was compounded by a rather comical fall at the boundary rope on his way back to the team dressing room.
The Barmy Army, English cricket’s fan contingent, shared a clip of the teenager’s unfortunate fall in a tweet, the video having originally been posted by another user David T (@SportingTrade). Khan, who was caught by Tom Cooper off Fred Klaassen’s bowling, was back on his feet in no time though.
