An unforeseen event left everyone tense for a while on Tuesday when Seattle Orcas and San Francisco Unicorns were up against each other in Match 13 of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2024 at Church Street Park, Morrisville.

The incident took place during the third over of Orcas' innings when South Africa's hard-hitting opener Ryan Rickelton smashed mercilessly straight down the ground off Carmi le Roux. The 31-year-old pacer, born in South Africa who later began playing for the USA, tried to catch it, only to get a nasty blow on his head.

Immediately after, le Roux laid down the ground, and he seemed seriously hurt after the blow he received.

Rickelton, his opening partner Shehan Jayasuriya, as well as the San Francisco Unicorns players were quick to check on him before the physio came out, and helped him to walk off the field.

Thankfully, the injury was not so serious for le Roux to get admitted in the hospital, although he did not continue to bowl after 1.4 overs of action. It will be interesting to see whether he will return to action when the Unicorns will take on MI New York at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas on Thursday in Match 16 of the competition.
