The BBC reports that Keshri collided with a teammate as they both attempted to take the same catch.

Keshri previously captained the Bengal Under-19 state team and was 20 when he died yesterday.

Keshri reportedly regained consciousness after the fielding collision, but later suffered a cardiac arrest in hospital.

Hashim Amla, meanwhile, has signed a short-term contract with English county Derbyshire.

He will join Derbyshire next month and is available to play in five matches.

Amla last played county cricket in 2013.
