LPL 2022: On December 12, the Galle Gladiators and the Kandy Falcons played in a Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2022 match at the Pallekele International Stadium. Pakistan’s up-and-coming wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan was wounded after the ball struck him on the head.
According to reports, Azam was taken to a hospital after suffering a head injury, but as of right now, neither his condition nor the severity of the damage is known. In addition, it is unknown if he will be available for selection in the upcoming game for the Galle Gladiators.
Injuring himself behind the stumps is Azam Khan.
This occurred in the seasoned Sri Lankan pacer Nuwan Pradeep’s 16th over of the Kandy Falcons’ run chase. A slower delivery down the leg side was delivered by Pradeep on the third pitch of that over, and it appeared that Chamika Karunaratne, the hitter, would dispatch it into the bleachers with ease.
The batter, though, chose not to even try and instead left the ball in order to get a wide. Sadly for the stumper Azam, the ball bounced once before reaching him, and when he attempted to catch it, the ball awkwardly struck him on the head, knocking him to the ground.
After taking that hard punch, Azam Khan was unable to get up and was on the ground for some time before help arrived to check on the young player. He underwent a concussion test initially, and because he was unable to continue playing from that point on, he had to be removed from the field on a stretcher.
Moin Khan, the head coach of the Galle Gladiators and a former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman, visited the field to see how his kid was doing. He gave Azam’s leg a gentle tap, smiling confidently in the knowledge that the young man’s injury wasn’t too severe and that he would quickly make a full recovery.
