The incident happened during Pakistan team바카라™s training session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when a stray shot from Mohammad Nawaz바카라™s bat hit Masood on the right side of the head. Masood wasn바카라™t wearing a helmet at that time according to reports.
It is understood that Masood didn바카라™t show any signs of discomfort or concussions but the officials took no risk and rushed the 33-year-old to hospital for scans. Pakistan open their campaign against arch-rivals India on Sunday at the same venue.
In a video that surfaced on social media, Nawaz was seen down on his knees while Masood was attended by the team바카라™s medical staff. Shortly after, Masood got up and walked off the ground. Nawaz then ran down to check on his teammate.
In case Masood isn바카라™t match fit, Fakhar Zaman is likely to replace Masood in the playing XI against India. Although Masood바카라™s scores don바카라™t speak much, but the left-hander was the most preferred to bat at No.3 in recent time including the tri-series against Bangladesh and New Zealand.
In the tri-series, Masood contributed with just 64 runs from four games. Â Â
