Pragyan Ojha hit on neck, rushed to hospital

Colombo: The Indian left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha was rushed to a hospital on Thursday morning after being hit on the neck during the team’s net session at the Premadasa stadium here.

Ojha was released after a brief check up at the Colombo’s Lanka Hospital.

But whether he would be a part of the third One-day International between India and Sri Lanka to be held on Saturday would be known only after Friday’s practice session, the Indian team sources said.

Ojha’s form in the current series has been a bit erratic. He conceded over seven runs per over in the first ODI, which India won, while he bowled just five balls in the second one-dayer that India lost.
