Arshad Iqbal, who made his international debut in the second T20I between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, started off his career with a horrifying but a memorable event. The bowler while delivering his second over in the contest, which Pakistan lost by 19 runs, almost left opposition batsman Tinashe Kamunhukamwe with a head injury, after a bouncer by him hit the batsman on his helmet.

The impact of which then broke the helmet into two pieces. The incident took place in the third delivery of the seventh over, when Kamunhukamwe was batting on 19 off 25 deliveries as a short delivery by Iqbal came crashing into the batsman's helmet.

Soon after the incident, the bowler and the umpire checked on Kamunhukamwe, while a mandatory concussion test was also done by the Zimbabwe physio on the right-handed batsman.
