Jeremy Solozano
The West Indies were hit by a major setback during the inaugural Test match against Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium, Galle. Jeremy Solozano, who was making his international debut, had to be stretchered off the field after he dealt with a nasty blow on his helmet.
The horrible incident took place on the fourth ball of the 24th over off Roston Chase’s bowling. SL’s skipper and opening batter Dimuth Karunaratne pulled a short delivery straight towards Solozano, who was placed as a short-leg fielder. The ball was smashed on the front of his helmet grille and the scoop stretcher was out to carry him off the field.
This led to a tense scene all over the stadium as the medical staff were out trying to examine the proceedings while the youngster remained unmoved on the ground. Notably, the rear part of the helmet had also come off after its contact with the ball. However, the game continued as usual after the injured player was rushed to the nearby hospital.
