Pakistan’s left-hand batter Shan Masood was moved to a hospital on Friday ahead of the crucial and much-awaited Pakistan and India T20 World Cup 2022 clash. 

The batter received a head injury during a practice session after a ball hit his head. 

During the practice session, all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz played a shot and the ball hit Shan’s head and injured him. 

“Shan Masood is being taken to hospital for scans after a ball hit him in the right hand side of his head during Pakistan’s net session in MCG,” said the PCB in a statement. 

Pakistan will take on India in their T20 World Cup opener at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday (October 23).
