Shocking news emerged from PSL 2026, stating that a player lost consciousness after being hit on the head by a ball. Let's find out what the full story is.

Hamza Sajjad

Islamabad United's fast bowler Hamza Sajjad, who was part of the Pakistan Super League 2026 (PSL 2026), was knocked unconscious after being struck on the head by a ball, causing an uproar. This incident occurred during practice, not during a match. During practice, his teammate, Mark Chapman, played a shot, and the ball struck Hamza on the head. Hamza fell to the ground, shocking everyone present.

The player was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital after being hit by the ball. According to Geo News, Hamza Sajjad is now out of danger and has regained consciousness. However, a CT scan will be conducted to rule out any internal injuries. At present, there has been no official word from the franchise or the Pakistan Cricket Board regarding Hamza's condition.

Some photos also went viral on social media, showing a crowd of people during practice. These photos were taken after the player fainted.

I haven't had a chance to play the match yet.

It's worth noting that Hamza Sajjad hasn't yet had a chance to debut in the PSL. The 24-year-old plays all three formats of domestic cricket. It will be interesting to see when he gets a chance in the Pakistan League. A chance in the PSL could also lead to his entry into the Pakistan national team.
