PERTH: TEST batsman Adam Voges has copped a sickening blow to the head while batting in Western Australia’s Sheffield Shield clash with Tasmania at the WACA Ground.
Adam Voges has been diagnosed with concussion and ruled out of the rest of WA’s Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania after being hit in the head by a bouncer in a Sheffield Shield match.
Voges was 16 not out when a delivery from Tasmania’s Cameron Stevenson hit him on the helmet as he tried to turn away and avoid the short ball, shortly before lunch on day one.
He dropped to his arms and knees and lay on the ground for some time before he was assisted from the ground by trainers and retired hurt.
He has been ruled out of the rest of the match after being diagnosed with concussion.
Voges missed three days of an English county game in May this year with concussion when he was hit in the head by an errant throw from the boundary.
He was looking for runs in Shield cricket after featuring in Australia’s innings and 80-run defeat to South Africa in Hobart in the second Test.
