Injuries are common on the cricket field. Often players get injured and go out of the field, but when the injury becomes so dangerous that the batsman has to be admitted to the hospital, then the matter becomes serious. Something similar happened in West Indies, where domestic cricket is currently being played. The batsman got angry when the ball hit his helmet and he went out of the field in anger. Overall, this matter has come into limelight. The match was declared canceled after the third day on such a dangerous pitch.
The match was taking place between Trinidad and Tobago vs Leeward Islands
The championship is currently being played in West Indies. Which is their domestic cricket. The match between Trinidad and Tobago vs Leeward Islands was being played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. However, it was canceled on the third day itself and the match was declared a draw. Actually, a ball from fast bowler Jaden Seals hit the helmet of batsman Jeremiah Lewis. The ball bounced so fast that Lewis did not even get a chance to recover and he got injured. He got so angry with this that he started stomping on the pitch and then kicked the helmet so hard that it looked like a football. The injury suffered by Jeremiah Lewis was so serious that he was taken off the field with the help of a stretcher, after which he was admitted to the hospital by ambulance.
The umpire and referee talked and informed the captains about the cancellation of the match.
After this entire incident, there was a long conversation between the umpire and the referee. After this he called the captains of both the teams. Captains Joshua DeSilva and Justin Greaves were told by match officials that the pitch was too dangerous and the match was abandoned. After this, when Jeremiah Lewis’s medical update was taken, it was found that he is fine now and there is nothing to worry about. However, it is learned that he is still in the hospital and is expected to recover soon.
The match continued till the third day, 27 wickets fell
This is not the first time something like this has happened to Jeremiah Lewis. Actually, the third day of the match was going on and it was canceled in the first session. Even before this, the batsmen were facing difficulty in batting here because there was unusual bounce on the pitch. By the third day, a total of 147 overs had been bowled, in which 27 wickets fell. There will be no further match. Also, care will be taken that whenever a match is held on this ground again, it should be checked properly.
