The career of cricketer Yasim Murtaza is a testament to both the highs and lows of the sport. After playing Under-19 cricket for Pakistan and first-class cricket, his career took a sharp turn in 2016. A fire at a hotel in Karachi forced him to jump from the second floor, resulting in a severe leg injury that dashed his hopes of playing for his country. The incident occurred when Murtaza was with his team preparing for a match. Now, he finds himself captaining the Hong Kong team in the Asia Cup. He has since earned a place in the Hong Kong team, and has been a consistent performer for them, leading to his captaincy. His story highlights the unpredictable nature of a career in cricket.
