This incident did not happen in a local match, but in a professional cricket match, in which a sharp bouncer from West Indies international bowler Jayden Seales hit the batsman on the head. After this the match was cancelled. So let us know what the whole matter is.
A domestic cricket match in the West Indies was being played between the Leeward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago at the Sir Viv Richards Stadium. This was a West Indies Championship match. In the match, Jayden Seals had wreaked havoc with his bowling and taken 7 wickets. After this, Jayden’s bouncer hit the helmet of batsman Jeremiah Lewis.
