South Africa’s Marco Jansen was forced to leave the field with an injury during his side’s crucial T20 World Cup Super Eight encounter against the West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. The incident occurred during the seventh over when Jansen, fielding at long off, collided mid-air with long on fielder Kagiso Rabada while attempting to prevent an Aiden Markram delivery from sailing for a six.
The collision happened as West Indies opener Kyle Mayers lofted a Markram delivery over the bowler’s head towards the sightscreen. While Rabada was able to continue despite showing signs of discomfort, Jansen remained on the ground beyond the boundary line for a significant period before being escorted to the dressing room for medical attention.
This incident occurred shortly after the West Indies lost two early wickets, with Mayers and Roston Chase subsequently forging a crucial partnership to rebuild their innings. The extent of Jansen’s injury and its potential impact on the remainder of the match are yet to be determined. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
