Shadab Khan, the talented Pakistani all-rounder, recently shared an update on his condition following a neck injury he suffered during a T20 Vitality Blast match in the UK. The incident occurred during Shadab’s debut match in English county cricket when he collided with his teammate, Nathan McAndrew while attempting to take a catch.
Representing Sussex Sharks this season, the 23-year-old cricketer took to Twitter to inform his fans about his injury and provide reassurance about his well-being. He stated that he had undergone concussion tests, which came back positive, and now he plans to rest for a few days. Shadab expressed his gratitude to his fans and followers for their prayers and support during this time.
Shadab’s collision with McAndrew happened during the fourth ball of the seventh over, as Somerset’s Tom Kohler-Cadmore hit a top edge over extra cover. Due to the concussion protocol, Shadab was immediately taken off the field. Sussex’s head coach, Paul Farbrace, shared that although Shadab had a sore neck, the doctors decided it was best to remove him from the game. Farbrace emphasized that both Shadab and McAndrew were doing fine, and a potentially worse situation had been avoided.
As a result of the injury, Shadab was unable to bowl, giving Somerset an easier path to chase the target of 184 runs. In the first innings, he faced eight deliveries and scored nine runs, including a six.
The update from Shadab provides some relief to his fans, who will be hoping for a swift recovery and his return to the cricket field soon.
