Visually impaired Pak cricketer drinks phenyl

Doctors examined Abbasi, a fast bowler who is leading Pakistan's team in the Blind World Twenty-20 World Cup Cricket Tournament in the southern city of Bangalore, and pronounced him fit to play.

"The cricketer accidentally consumed phenyl" from a plastic bottle at his hotel in the city, doctor Naresh Shetty told AFP. "He mistook the phenyl bottle for a water bottle."
