Summary Adam Voges has been released from hospital after suffering a bizarre head injury.
LONDON (AFP) - Australia s Adam Voges has been released from hospital after suffering a bizarre head injury captaining English county side Middlesex.
Voges was struck on the back of the head Sunday by a ball lobbed by sub fielder Ollie Rayner and missed by wicketkeeper John Simpson after a boundary hit by Hampshire s Michael Carberry at Southampton.
The batsman was taken to hospital and ruled out of the remainder of the four-day match under new England and Wales Cricket Board safety directives dealing with suspected concussion.
But an update on Middlesex s Twitter feed on Monday said Voges, 36, was set to watch the remainder of the match at south coast county Hampshire s Ageas Bowl ground.
"Adam saw the doctor yesterday (Sunday), who discharged him from hospital. He is feeling better today but still has a headache.
"Adam will come over to see the rest of the team later today & we will continue to monitor him over the next few days."
Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said Sunday: "The feeling from our physio was that he s got concussion. It s sad for Adam - and obviously disappointing for us, because we re not going to have any more use of him in this game."
The England selector and former Test bowler added: "It s a freak injury, as such, but when you see a cricket ball thrown around the field as much as you do, you wonder why it doesn t happen more often.
"They re hard things, cricket balls, and you re not always watching."
