Floodlights In Lahore Blamed As Rachin Ravindra Suffers Head Injury In Tri-series Match
New Zealand Cricket: New Zealand batter Ravindra was forced out from the field after being struck in the forehead by the ball attempting a catch in the 38th over of their match against Pakistan in the ODI tri-series. The poor quality of floodlights at the Gaddafi Stadium is being blamed for the scary injury that could impact Ravindra's participation in the event.
"Ravindra sustained a laceration to the forehead which has been addressed and treated at the ground, but is otherwise well. He came through his first HIA well and will continue to be monitored under HIA processes," the New Zealand Cricket informed in a statement on Saturday.
The incident occurred in the 38th over of the match when Khushdil Shah hit a shot towards Rachin Ravindra at deep backward square leg. The ball was travelling at pace and Ravindra positioned himself for the catch. Unfortunately, he lost sight of the ball in lights as the ball crashed in his face. Ravindra immediately fell down as the blood flowed from his face.
