New Zealand Give Big Update On Rachin Ravindra's Gruesome Injury

New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra sustained an unfortunate injury in the tri-nation series match against Pakistan on Saturday. Ravindra lost sight of the ball in the floodlights, resulting in the ball slipping through his hands before hitting his head. The Kiwi batter didn't just spill the catch but also had to be taken off the ground as his head had started to bleed. Since the incident took place, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been facing extreme criticism, with the facilities at the venue being deemed not good enough for international cricket. 

Even former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif called out the extreme glow, suggesting players would not be able to see the ball coming through certain angles. "There is an issue in the LED light. It has more glare and sometimes it is hard to spot the ball when it is coming flat to you," Latif told Pakistan journalist Nauman Niaz.  

According to Dr. Nauman Niaz and Rashid Latif, the adjustment of the LED lights at Gaddafi Stadium was not done properly before scheduling the match. As a result, the incident involving Rachin Ravindra occurred.#PAKvNZpic.twitter.com/9XTNdqk463

A statement from NZC on Ravindra's injury said, "Ravindra was forced from the field after being struck in the forehead by the ball attempting a catch in the 38th over. He sustained a laceration to the forehead which has been addressed and treated at the ground, but is otherwise well. He came through his first HIA (Head Injury Assessment) well and will continue to be monitored under HIA processes."

New Zealand are already dealing with injury concerns following Lockie Ferguson's hamstring injury during the ILT20 in the UAE.
