Pakistan's Shan Masood clears test after being hit on head at nets

Pakistan's top order batter Shan Masood has cleared the initial test after getting injured during a practice session on Friday. However, he will undergo another test tomorrow.

The 33-year-old Masood is part of Pakistan's 15-member squad and was practicing in the nets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. During the session, he got injured after being hit by the team's all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz. Masood was wearing pads but not the helmet as he was waiting for his turn to bat. He fell to the



ground and was soon attended by the team doctor. He was immediately rushed to the hospital for a scan.

"All of Shan Masood's neurological observations are normal. His CT scan only shows superficial bruising where the ball struck him. He currently is asymptomatic and has a concussion. The batter will undergo concussion re-test tomorrow," ANI source said.

With the upcoming re-test on cards, Masood's place in the playing XI of the India vs Pakistan match on Sunday is doubtful.
