Young cricketer Ankit Keshri dies after on-field collision with teammate

Twenty-year-old cricketer Ankit Keshri dies after colliding with a teammate during a match in India.

Twenty-year-old cricketer Ankit Keshri has reportedly died after colliding with a teammate during a match in India.

Keshri and a fellow player are believed to have come together while both went for a high catch during a match in Kolkata.

The youngster was resuscitated by a teammate after briefly losing consciousness, and was later taken to hospital, where his condition was initially stable.

However, according to Reuters, Keshri suffered a cardiac arrest around midnight on Sunday and passed away in the early hours of Monday morning.

The tragic death comes four months after Australia batsman Phil Hughes died after being struck on the neck with a ball.
