What exactly happened?
The unfortunate mishap occurred during the Pakistan team’s training session in Melbourne on Friday. Masood was batting at the nets while Mohammad Nawaz was batting in the opposite nets.
As Nawaz hit a powerful shot, it struck Masood. Mohammad Nawaz looked distraught as he dropped to the ground in fear of the worst.
Immediately, all his teammates rushed to him. Physios too immediately rushed in fearing a bad concussion. After attending to him, physios recommended that he be taken to hospital immediately. Masood will undergo MRI scans before taking a call on his immediate future.
Masood was tipped to be named in the playing XI to bolster Pakistan’s middle order. Now, the team has to wait for an official update on Masood’s health update. As things stand, he is expected to miss the India clash.
A moment of extreme scare. Mohammad Nawaz is distraught and down on the ground after his shot hits Shan Masood flash at the back of his neck😳
