Injury fright for Ishant Sharma in Dominica


India's pace lead Ishant Sharma experience a freak injury during a practice session ahead of the third Test. However, the team association said it was not serious and the speedster would be part of the side for the third and final Test against the West Indies, starting here Wednesday. Ishant upset himself during a football match which Team India played at Windsor Park Monday evening.

The visitors who refrain from bowling, bat and fielding session came over to the venue of the third and final Test rather late and restricted themselves to a session of fun football between themselves. However, it stunned everyone when Praveen Kumar jumps in the air and by chance head-butted the left cheekbone of Ishant. The crash was so hard that Ishant lay flat on his back for a good two notes, causing a panic in the Indian ranks.

The physic and masseur of the team quick from the bandage room and lifted Ishant, escorting him out of the ground. Ishant seem to have a deep blood clot on his left cheekbone, probably a little cut as well, but team basis later allay the fears that the injury might cost him the final Test.It's a small bruise, a small cut under his eye. But I have been told it's not grave, Rahul Dravid was to say later on. Ishant has so far selected up 16 wickets from the series, counting a 10-wicket haul in the Barbados Test, with an average of 13.62.
