The incident happened in a Big Bash game between Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers while Nevill was positioned as a wicket-keeper.


As Hodge connected the shot, bat slipped out of his hands and flew towards the wicket-keeper Nevill, who had his eyes glued to the trajectory of the ball and got hit on his face.



Nevill was then taken to hospital for X-Rays after the injury. “Fears are he suffered a fracture to the jaw,” read a tweet from the KFC Big Bash League.
