Watch : Australia's Peter Nevill suffers bizarre injury on the field
Australian wicketkeeper Peter Nevill suffered a blow to his jaw in a bizarre accident while keeping wickets for BBL side Adelaide Strikers on Monday. Nevill was watching the ball run towards the mid-wicket region when the bat slipped from batsman Brad Hodge's hands and hit him.
While cricket does not warrant for too many injuries on the field since it is not a contact sport, the cricket ball has always posed a danger to players. But Nevill suffered an injury from an unlikely objectâthe bat.Â
In a match against Melbourne Renegades, Nevill was struck by the willow when Hodge lost his grip on the bat while trying to slog Thisara
Nevill was rushed to the hospital for X-Rays. âFears
