NEW DELHI: Carmi le Roux of the San Francisco Unicorns suffered a severe blow to the head during his team's Major League Cricket (MLC) match against the Seattle Orcas at Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina, on Wednesday.
The incident occurred in the third over of the second innings while Le Roux was bowling over the wicket to Orcas' batsman Ryan Rickleton. He delivered a full ball just outside the off-stump, and Rickleton struck it powerfully straight back in the direction of the bowler's head, as Le Roux didn't get any time to react and started bleeding.
