Khawaja Cleared Of Jaw Fracture, Passes Concussion Test After Bouncer Blow

By IANS News January 19, 2024 • 13:56 PM View: 348

Opener Usman Khawaja: Opener Usman Khawaja has been cleared of a potential broken jaw and first concussion test following a harrowing blow from Shamar Joseph just moments before Australia secured a decisive 10-wicket victory over West Indies in Adelaide.

Khawaja misjudged a short ball from Shamar and was hit on the chin after the ball skimmed across his chest as he attempted to twist his head away. He was assessed by the doctor on the field before retiring hurt when scores were tied during the first Test.

Khawaja was seen spitting blood before leaving Adelaide Oval with medical staff. He was sent to hospital for a scan to check there was no structural damage to his jaw.
