Nari Contractor on Sunday returned home, much to the relief of his family, after being discharged from the hospital, where he successfully underwent a major operation to remove the titanium plate that was inserted in his skull 60 years ago following an injury during the 1961-62 tour of the West Indies. The plate, which was inserted after Contractor suffered a life-threatening injury on his head when he was hit by a bouncer by West Indies pacer Charlie Griffith during a tour match against Barbados at Bridgetown during India’s 1961-62 tour of the Caribbean, was removed in an operation at the Reliance Foundation Hospital on Wednesday.
Doctors have removed a metal plate from the skull of India's former cricket captain Nari Contractor - 60 years after it was put in following a near-fatal bouncer by West Indies' Charlie Griffith.
Nari Contractor’s head after being hit by a Charlie Griffith bouncer on the 1962 tour of the West Indies, has finally been removed through surgery on medical advice. Contractor’s son Hoshedar told TOI that his father was fine after the surgery. Contractor was admitted at the Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai on Tuesday, and operated on Wednesday. “All well,” Hoshedar told TOI after the surgery, which was performed by Dr Harshad Parekh and Dr Anil Tibrewala. Contractor was hit by the Griffith bouncer on March 17, 1962 in a side game against Barbados. The 88-year-old, whose international career ended after that injury, played for India in 31 Tests from 1955 to 1962.
