Twitter footage showed a distraught Nawaz following the event. He lay on the ground for a time before approaching Masood and his colleagues.

Masood was immediately brought to the hospital for tests to determine the injuries.

“Shan Masood is being transported to hospital for scans after a ball hit him in the right-hand side of his head during Pakistan’s net session in MCG,” the PCB said.

Since his 2013 debut, Masood has played 25 Tests, 5 ODIs, and 12 T20Is.

Pakistan is ready for its T20 World Cup 2022 opener against archrival India. On Sunday, October 23, the Melbourne Cricket Ground will host the anticipated match.

Sydney and Melbourne are predicted to get rain from Friday until next week due to a third consecutive La Nina weather phenomenon.

On Sunday, the Bureau of Meteorology predicts 80% rain.

Since group stage matches have no reserve days, both teams will share points if there is no result.
