Home > News Shots > Sports newsDuring the ongoing first Test between Australia and New Zealand in Perth on December 14, an on-field umpire was injured after colliding with all-rounder Mitchell Santner.
The umpire has been identified as Aleem Dar; he was the third individual to get injured during the Perth Test. The other two were New Zealand cricketer Lockie Ferguson and Australian cricketer Josh Hazlewood.

Joe Burns, who was at the other end of the batting line wanted a single but Labuschagne was not ready so Burna had to rush back.

As per The Cricket Times report, Dar hurt his knee and had to be attended by the medical staff during the game. Surprisingly, Dar got treated by a New Zealand physiotherapist. Within few minutes, the umpire stood up and continued with the match.
