Sri Lanka Dashing left-hander Kusal Perera has been released from the hospital after scans were conducted on him following an injury on the third day of the third day-night Test between West Indies and Sri Lanka in Barbados on Monday. Furthermore, he has been declared fit to bat if Sri Lanka requires him tomorrow. Perera crashed into the advertisement board while fielding and had to be carried off the field in a stretcher.
“He was discharged from the hospital after scans cleared him. He will bat if required tomorrow,” a SLC official told Cricket Age.
Perera was rushed to the hospital and underwent scans after he crashed into the advertisement boards while attempting a catch of Shannon Gabriel at long on. He went over the rope as he picked the catch and crashed into the advertisement board and lay motionless for some time before the Lankan support staff and medical team rushed in. Perera, who was holding his chest, was finally put on a stretcher and taken off before being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
