NEW DELHI:
Javeria Khan, who opens the batting for the Pakistan women’s team, has been released from hospital after being hit by a bouncer in Wednesday’s World T20 match against West Indies in Chennai.
“She has been discharged with a fractured thumb but we are still waiting for the medical report,” team manager Ayesha Ashhar told Reuters on Thursday.
The 27-year-old Javeria was struck on her thumb by a bouncer on what was only her second ball from Shamilia Connell which then hit the grill of her helmet.
Javeria, who was batting on nought at the time, collapsed to the ground and was stretchered off the field before being taken to hospital.

She travelled to Delhi later on Thursday ahead of tomorrow’s big game against hosts India at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.
Ashhar said she would not comment on Javeria’s chances of playing against India until she had seen the medical report.
The nail-biter of a match finished in West Indies’ favour, with the Caribbean side winning by four runs after.
