There has been a positive update to the condition of Jeremy Solozano after he was rushed to hospital following an ugly head knock during the West Indies’ test against Sri Lanka.
Solozano was fielding close in at short-leg when Dimuth Karunaratne attempted a full-blooded pull shot off the bowling of Roston Chase and the ball crashed into the fielder’s helmet grill.
Medical staff attended to him on the ground before he was taken on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance which took him to hospital.
It came after a delay of several minutes where Solozano lay still on the ground as teammates and officials gathered around him on the opening day of the First Test at the Galle Stadium.
Later he was transferred to Colombo where he underwent scans.
Doctors initially suspected he had suffered internal bleeding as a result of the force of the strike.
However, the West Indies have now announced the scans have shown there was no structural damage and no internal bleeding.
He remains in hospital and is continuing to be monitored for concussion symptoms.
