Mohammad Hasnain Breaks Left Hand Of Cooper Connolly: Today (10 November) will always be remembered for young batsman Cooper Connolly, who is playing his debut ODI match against Pakistan. The reason for this is not his batting, but the fast bowling of Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain. After the initial setbacks against the Green team, the Australian team had high expectations from Connolly, who came to bat at the fifth position in the middle order. He seemed to be slowly moving forward on those expectations, but he completely broke down on the fourth ball of Hasnain's over.
Actually, playing the pull shot in front of the blazing ball of Pakistani fast bowler proved very costly for Cooper Connolly. Here the ball did not hit Connolly's bat, but he got his hand injured. This ball of Hasnain hit his gloves directly. After which he was seen simply caressing his hand in pain. Seeing the young batsman injured, the medical officer immediately came to the field. But seeing his plight he thought it better to take Connolly out. According to reports, Cooper Connolly has been taken to the hospital for a scan. It is expected that he has suffered a fracture in his hand.
