During a practice session for the T20 World Cup in Australia, Pakistani batsman Shan Masood hit his head, following which he was reportedly taken for scans.

A shot from his fellow team member Mohammad Nawaz struck Masood on the head and left him lying flat on the ground.

In the picture posted on social media, it can be seen that Pakistani players and team staff surround Masood after the ball hit him on the head.

The team’s Vice Captain Shadab Khan told reporters that he passed the tests taken by the physio. He has gone to the hospital for scans. Shadab hoped that Masood will stay fully fit.

The 33-year-old batsman is regarded as a technically sound top-order batsman and has hit two half-centuries for Pakistan in 12 T20s since his debut in September.

On Sunday, Pakistan will face its arch-rivals India in Melbourne.
