"The throw hit him between the neck and shoulder. He has gone for the scan just as a precautionary measure," Pakistan media manager Agha Akbar told PTI.


Asked how the throw hit him, Akbar said, "someone threw the ball and it hit him accidentally".


About the left-arm pacer's condition, he said, "otherwise he is okay".


After losing to India on Saturday in a high-voltage clash at Eden Gardens, Pakistan will now look to regain the winning momentum in their next match against New Zealand, which is scheduled to take place at PCA stadium.
