The incident happened during Pakistan team바카라s training session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when a stray shot from Mohammad Nawaz바카라s bat hit Masood on the right side of the head. Masood wasn바카라t wearing a helmet at that time according to reports.
It is understood that Masood didn바카라t 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 team바카라s medical staff. Shortly after, Masood got up and walked off the ground. Nawaz then ran down to check on his teammate.
In case Masood isn바카라t match fit, Fakhar Zaman is likely to replace Masood in the playing XI against India. Although Masood바카라s scores don바카라t 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.
