6 cricketers who got injured in a bizarre manner

5. Jimmy Adams

When talking about the cricketers who got injured in a bizarre manner in the history of the game, it is next to impossible to not discuss the Jamaican all-rounder Jimmy Adams, who was a steady left-handed batsman, useful left-arm orthodox spin bowler and good fielder, especially in the gully position. 

During the 1998-1999 West Indies tour of South Africa the veteran Jimmy was on a flight to Johannesburg when he sliced through some of his tendons on the right hand while cutting bread. Adams was brutally injured by the incident as Dr. Ali Bacher, who was present on the same flight, was immediately called to find Adams lying with blood gushing out of his hand.

The accident had resulted in Jimmy Adams, who represented West Indies in 54 Test matches and 127 One Day Internationals from 1992 to 2001, getting sidelined for the whole South Africa tour.
