Chaminda Vaas Injured in a County Match


Sri Lankan fast bowler, who was a contracted Middlesex bowler in 2007 English county season, Chaminda Vaas has been released from hospital after colliding with the advertising boards while fielding.
There was a 27-minute delay during Middlesex's nine-wicket defeat to Essex in Sunday's Friends Provident Trophy match after Vaas careered into the hoardings as he tried to take catch England all-rounder Ravi Bopara.
Sri Lanka paceman Vaas, 33, was admitted to Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford after leaving the field on a stretcher.
He was assessed by a consultant before being released at around 7.30pm.
Middlesex coach Richard Pybus told BBC Online: "Chaminda unfortunately fell back into the boards and hit his head."He's been taken to do some neurological tests.
"He was conscious and could feel his fingers and feet. You've got to be very careful with an injury like this.''
