West Indies debutant Jeremy Solozano was taken to the hospital after receiving a blow on the helmet while fielding during the opening day of the Test series against Sri Lanka.
The 26-year-old had to be stretchered off the field after being struck by a pull shot from Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne. The incident happened during the fourth delivery off spinner Roston Chase’s over that had seen the player deployed at the short-leg position.
Shai Hope was brought in as the replacement after the injured player left the pitch. Solozano was reportedly responsive while being taken to the hospital and is currently undergoing scans. Cricket West Indies has promised to give further news on the player’s condition as soon as it becomes available.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat first Sri Lanka were 163 for 1 at the end of the second session. Pace bowler Shannon Gabriel claimed the team’s only wicket so far after dismissing Pathum Nissanka.
